I was born near Montreal and grew up in rural Nova Scotia. At the age of nineteen, I left the maritimes in order to enter the workforce in Ottawa and, over thirty years later, I finally found the opportunity to pursue my passion for art.

 

The creative muse within is never content wtih a single idea or method - which means I tend to be a bit eclectic (erratic?) in my subject matter and choice of medium. My paintings aren't planned; they emerge on their own with the help of some ideas and intuition along  the way. I usually start a painting just by making some marks to get rid of that stark white canvas... then, as subsequent layers are added, shapes emerge and are built upon, until my gut says it's time to stop. Sometimes I'll add a raven (Gatekeeper piece) because, sometimes, you just need a raven.

 

My hope is that you will look at my work and see the potential, both for the ideas presented as well as for future pieces.

 

Some of the pieces here are for sale; more will be added as they are completed. Please do contact me for quotes on portraits and/or to discuss any custom pieces.

 

Thank you for taking the time to stop in.
