NWT Arts

As a longtime northerner of 40 years, I have admired the NWT artists who painted our beautiful scenery and captured the north through bold colours of the Aurora and vast landscapes. My mother used to paint and always wanted me to start but I put it off for most of my life. Too nervous or fear of being not good enough. My mother passed away from Alzheimer's Nov 11.2023 and sitting with the grief I realized I needed an outlet. I started painting December of 2023 and it helped me feel connected to her and gave me an outlet to escape. 

Self taught by mostly watching YouTube and experimenting. I use acrylics and oils and haven't landed on any type of painting! I love to try it all.
