Education - June-Anne has little formal training in art.  She has been dabbling in art since childhood, but more recently began painting late in 2004.  June-Anne has taken several instructional workshops:  Watercolour - Heather Keating; Oil Painting - Billie Hastie; Oil Painting - Pat Johnson; Acrylic Painting - Fred Harrison; Drawing - Kevin Bice; Acrylics - Mary Louise White; Acrylics/Mixed Media - Mary Louise White; and life drawing - Diane Lademer.

Biography - June-Anne is primarily an acrylics painter, but has found herself extending her abilities to oil, watercolour, and mixed media works.  She has always been fascinated by sculpting; getting her hands into the clay seems an intriguing avenue that she longs to pursue.

June-Anne has been creating art since she was a young girl - her early years were devoted to drawing in pencil and charcoal.  Emerging into her teens, she began painting posters and designing logos for friends and family.  June-Anne has always been fascinated by hidden or double imagery and finds it a rewarding challenge to try to include in her  paintings.  She has always visualized herself as an artist, but never had the opportunity to pursue an art career full-time.  Her plan is to continue to drink in the knowledge and understanding of the world that surrounds her, reflect what she has learned in her art, and to become a full-time artist in her retirement.

June-Anne's long time friendship with Sandra England emerged into an art partnership in 2005.  In the summer of 2006, Evergreen Studio was opened in Sandra's home.  In June of 2010, a separate studio space was opened for Evergreen Studio in St. Thomas, Ontario with regular hours and a specific space to allow June-Anne to paint more frequently and to share her art with the community.

 June-Anne is an active member in  the Port Stanley Artists’ Guild and a founding member of the St Thomas-Elgin Artists’ Guild. June-Anne is an officer in both guilds.
