Thank you for your interest in my work. Here are some photos of my furniture and jewlery designs. My husband and I were professors at McGill for thirty years and I did research on language disabilities which was instrumental in establishing the genetic basis of grammar.
That work satisfied my intellectual curiosity, but I also kept up my artistic interests by designing jewlery which received international recognition. It was shown at Art Wear in New York and in Montreal, Toronto, and Chicago. In 1990 my work was chosen as one of the two artists to represent Canada at the exposition in Munich. While I was still at McGill I began to make furniture as well as jewlery, but was limited by space constraints in our downtown Montreal apartment. When we retired to Trent Hills we had a large workshop where we design and make furniture for ourselves and our six children and twelve grandchildren.
