"Joggins Ocean Scene"

“The colours of the Bay of Fundy have always been interesting for me. It displays change and reminds me that, as in life, there are constant changes. This painting reflects the brown water with the bit of white wave which is so much a part of the coastal area. The inlets of water as the waves continue inshore and the dark colors of the shore itself makes for an interesting piece of art and pop out the ocean colour. This piece was done from a photo taken in the spring of 2010”.

"Joggins Interpretative Centre"

“This painting captures the distance and yard view on a cloudy Spring day in 2010. Inspiring colours portray the surrounding area and the Centre itself in an interesting combination. The history of time gone by that the Centre represents has always inspired me throughout my life. To be able to put the culture and heritage of the Joggins Fossil Centre in paint was like putting a bit of my own history and thoughts into this piece of art”.
