My History
My Inspiration
My History
I have been an artist all my life. For the first two decades I was a water-colourist, until a friend bought me a set of acrylic paints, and the magic happened. I had the freedom to make mistakes!
My Style

My History
Can't say I've got as sure a handle on this - I'm easily influenced. Expressionist, cubist, surreal, abstract, impressionist.
Canvas, wood, metal, glass,
and often on my good clothes.

Nature is the artist's best teacher. Most of the time we are not patient enough to pay attention.
"I have nature and art and poetry. If that is not enough, what is enough?"
-Vincent van Gogh
What's New We've all come through a void and for me, it's changed my priorities. I want to spend the next year looking at the world through a new pair of glasses. Come back here or email me for more information on my new series of colourful artwork showcasing the less travelled areas of my town.

Plein Air Painting
There's much to see here on Georgian Bay. If you are planning a visit (or live here) why not add an afternoon of painting to your holiday. I supply all the materials - you go home with your own painting.
A memory preserved in paint.
