Her talent and love of painting is displayed in the balcony of Knox's Church north window on Lakeshore Road as she was commissioned to do a painting in preparation for the stained-glass window. The love of her family, grandchildren, her hometown, and the Bruce Peninsula are also memorialized in her beautiful oil paintings.
