In 2016 Maureen envisioned expanding the same concepts of design learned from a history with stained glass and fabric design into her own through a new medium…painting with acrylic on canvas. She developed her signature style of vibrant colourful parallel lines juxtaposed by simple forms and solid shapes outlined in white.  Maureen’s acrylic paintings reinterpret classic iconic Canadian landscapes in a contemporary, bold and graphic manner. 
She finds inspiration from the Group of Seven and paints mainly from memory and the emotional experience of time spent in Algonquin, Georgian Bay and the Western provinces with intuition guiding her colour choices and composition. Her paintings evoke feelings of peace, solitude and quiet.
This year Maureen continues to add to her “Red Canoe” series in which a red canoe is placed in varied distinctive Canadian landscapes.
Maureen is a self-taught artist who started painting in 2016. It was not until 2017 that she applied to her first juried art show, “The Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.”  In 2018, she had the honour to be nominated for an “Emerging Artist Award” at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.   
Maureen works from her studio/gallery in the town of Perth, Ontario where she creates, designs and experiments with acrylic on a daily basis.
​This is a sampling of Maureen's works. Maureen will also paint commissions. The gallery displays a book of Maureen's pieces that customers can choose style and colour options of mountains, trees, skies and water.
