When I was growing up, I knew as a young adult that the rural landscape was where I felt most at home. I am a self-taught artist, and it was the desire to capture the beauty of my surroundings, so of course I was thrilled when I moved to Glengarry with my husband and two children in 1993. I began, The Cottage Blue, a home decor store that features many of my own creations; it became a creative outlet for me, allowing me to draw inspiration from my surroundings. How lucky am I to have been able to earn a living doing the many things I love!

My favourite media are acrylic paints and oil pastels. My goal to share this serenity with others through my art.

The Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) is a collaborative initiative of the provincial Alzheimer Societies, the Alzheimer Society of Canada, partners, and the valuable donors who support research directed at both eradicating dementia and improving the lives of those affected by it.

The ASRP targets two types of research:1. Biomedical: Focusing on the science of the brain and the changes that are associated with dementia and identifying therapeutic targets to reverse, stop or cure the disease

2. Quality of Life (QoL): Exploring issues that impact the lives of people with dementia and their caregivers, including risk factors, behavioural and cognitive changes, physical support, caregiving and health service delivery
