JO SMOLEY
Canadian artist and explorer in Watercolor and Acrylic Painting, as well, I enjoy Photography. I love getting out on the Trans Canada Trail and hiking to a lovely little lake or waterfalls where I can paint and take photos all afternoon. I find nature inspiring. My favorite subjects are the forests, lakes and gardens in the Manitoba area. Three trips to Europe may have influenced some subject matter as well. My husband and I enjoy taking long walks in Birds Hill Provincial Park near our home or we take a two hour drive to the Whiteshell Provincial Park to camp and enjoy a few of Manitoba's 100,000 lakes.
