She studied at Humber College, The Etobicoke Art Group, and Ontario College of Art and Design, completing her Diploma in 1995 and upgrading it to a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005.
Gwen has studied many disciplines and with many great teachers of painting, printmaking, book arts and textile arts. She credits Graham Coughtry for encouraging her to paint what she feels in her own style which is a blend of expressionism and Fauvism . She seeks out instructors across Canada and the U.S. to continue to expand her repertoire and in preparation for teaching art. Gwen will be teaching classes in collage in February 2010 as part of the Art for Adults program at the Beaux-Arts Brampton Workshop. She will also be teaching acrylics in May at Beaux-Arts Brampton and two courses, Contemporary Drawing and Responding Expressively to the Landscape, at Southampton Art School in 2010.
Gwen is currently painting with acrylics. She held a solo show called “Rhythms of the Sea” in July 2009 at Beaux-Arts Brampton and will be holding another show “Fauvist Style Portraits and Figures” in the “Art Cove” at Beaux-Arts Brampton Gallery in January 2010.
