I started painting in 2006 when my friend Trish asked me to come down and paint with her in Fort MacLeod one day. I was a bit shaky at first as I was too afraid to “mess up” the canvas…or “make a mistake”. I soon learned to relax and just go with whatever came to mind! My ideas are not really standard pictures, but feelings or visualizations of certain colours. I never know what I am going to paint before I start putting the paint on the canvas! Every time I start a new painting I vow it will be my last! Once completed though, I can't wait to start the next one!
Anyone who is interested in my art but unable to attend the show please feel free to email me (mimbeach@shaw.ca)
Thanks!
