Killarney Provincial Park in Northern Ontario is frequently visited by hikers, naturalist, photographs and canoeists. This area has been painted by many artist including the famous Canadian Group of Seven. The pink granite against the pristine vast waters and breathtaking blue skies is an artist’s dream.

The people who lived in Willisville, Ontario would walk the rails to Whitefish Falls, where they would shop, attend church or just pay a social visit to friends.

I worked off an old black and white photo that I just had to bring to life with colour and texture. It depicts the charm of a simpler time. Today, the train is no longer needed and the tracks have been removed.

One Thanksgiving weekend my husband and I climbed the Willisville Mountain. This lone tree stands on the trail struggling to survive the elements.

This commission piece done for the Willisville Mountain Project depicts Franklin Carmichael, one of the Group of Seven, painting Grace Lake, Northern Ontario, Canada.

I worked from a photo that was taken in the fall of 1935. This picture was a huge challenge and one of my favourite works.

A screened in porch is a must in Northern Ontario, Canada. It was a challenge to capture the effect of the screen shimmering in the sunlight.
