Gracey
Born and raised in Toronto, I have called Orillia home for almost 40 years now. With my husband, two beautiful daughters (and 2 terrific sons-in-law) and four perfect (well, not literally, but they're perfect to me) grandchildren my life revolves around family and they've often been dragged into some of my art as models. Unlike many professionals in the art field, I have no degree in art or photography, and no formal training, simply a love for art and photography (much of that coming from my father). For me, I consider success to be the completion of a project in my mind, whether it's a big seller, or never sells at all. The act of creating is enough.
When the artistic side takes over, the results are the images I see in my inner visions: not always expected, but they are my own interpretations of the world around me. Sometimes fantasy, sometimes light, and every now and then, darkness. In all of their forms, these images come from my heart. Tempered by faith and inspired by the world God created, I see these works as a way to express my inner self, in ways that sometimes surprise even me.
