My Story

​

Irene was born and raised in Fort Frances Ontario. After teaching public school for twelve years she  studied  with art teachers around the world including in  Australia, Canada and the U.S. She then began pursuing her art career full time successfully  participating in numerous solo and group shows. Her  creativity and versatility combined  to produce captivating images and she  is constantly inspired by the unlimited source of beauty of the Niagara Region. Irene  appreciates that her paintings are enjoyed not only locally but in many countries around the world!

 

 Watercolours are my passion! My artistic journey began as a child with a box of crayons  then painting with oils but ultimately loving the translucency and magic of watercolours. 

Currently my home studio/gallery (which I share with my wonderful husband Paul) is located on the peaceful shore of Lake Ontario in Niagara on the Lake which is  often described as one the  most romantic towns in Canada. We both agree wholeheartedly 💗

It has been a joy and privilege to welcome visitors from all over the world. Each of my paintings are professionally scanned which allows me to reproduce my artwork as fine art Giclees, prints, stretched canvases and greeting cards.
