A native of Ottawa, Ont., now living in Vancouver BC, Canada. After completing a specialized 4 year art course in Ottawa before continuing art studies at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, Ontario.

Early works were large acrylic abstracts, hard edged and dimensional expressing interest in abstract geometric perspectives.

Moved to the small community of Constance Bay Ontario in 1978, rural scenes and nature became a strong influence with watercolor landscapes (see gallery 1).

Moved to Vancouver in 1995 to paint full time. Organic shapes and color have been influences with a series of still life fruit and gourds (gallery 2). Recent work is a detailed floral series based on peonies (gallery 3).

My work can be seen at Artworks Gallery in Vancouver or contact me for showings.
