Art is a constant in Irene's life, she must have been born with crayons in her hands. She treasures teachers and friends, artists in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta and British Columbia all of whom mentored and inspired her, teaching her theory and technique. They nurtured her joy in creating art.
Her work focuses on all the fun ways to express light as inspired by personality and nature. Presently She paints with acrylics. Her techniques reflect experience with glass, fabric and oil and watercolours. She believes art is an adventure filled with discovery, delight and love. |
