Bernice Collingridge has a love of art that came later in life, stimulated in part by many recent travels coupled with a career stoppage due to cancer. Formal training has included efforts in watercolour, acrylic, and oil - the highlight being a student at Jesus Estevez Art Academy in Belleville, Ontario. Bernice is a native of Kirkland Lake and now resides in Wooler, Ontario. She is married with four children and four grandchildren.
