One of her landscape paintings was selected for the “Under Wraps” public art project with the Town of Halton Hills. She is now a member of the Town of Halton Hills Public Arts Advisory Board, where she helps to bring public art into the community.
Artist Statement
Brenda is currently focused on creating art inspired by the magnificence of the scenery around Whitestone Lake, in northern Ontario, where she photographs the stunning scenes she encounters as she travels around the lakes by car, by boat, by kayak and on foot. Subject matter ranges from scenes from the lake to up close paintings of lake life, including water lilies and loons. They are painted with acrylic paints on canvas using brushes and palette knives to create the exquisite texture that makes the paintings come alive. The feelings of peace and serenity that she senses when she is viewing the scenes evokes that same feeling in the viewer and allows them the opportunity to bring that into their home and/or cottage. Sharing that splendour with others is what motivates her and gives her joy.
