Welcome to "Quailscapes & Escapes"

As "Artist of the Month" at Endeavours in Fredericton, opposite the Historic Garrison Quarter ..2008/09, it encouraged me to participate again in the "Two Countries - One Bay 2009" art/gallery/studio tour, see link -http://www.twocountriesart.com - thank you to those who visited and supported me - I hope to see you all again this year.

My name is Leah Phryce-Jones, I was born in Kenya, East Africa in 1947 and have had the pleasure of living in several countries throughout my professional capacity. I have followed a full and successful career, until retiring, when I decided to try painting. 

I am self-taught and learning everyday. I enjoy the challenge of working with Acrylics as well as Watercolours and am now attempting pastels.

I would like to thank my mentors, who have shown patience and have guided me to see, that inside each and every one of us, is an artist of some form or another.  Thank you, Sandra Albo - a wonderful painter, teacher and inspiration, Barb Hofer, to whom I thank the fact I have even tried watercolours, her gentle coaxing and encouragement were a tonic - both Federation of Canada Artists.  

I have exhibited in several of the famous Okanagan Valley Wineries; Osoyoos Art Gallery; the B C Visitors' Centre; Handworks Gallery, Oliver B C;The Wine Centre, Oliver B C, The Wool Emporium in St Stephen, and lately, Serendipin Art Gallery in St Andrews.
