The Artist

As a lifelong resident of Canada, its wide-open spaces have allowed my thoughts to wander freely from my mind onto canvas or paper. What I paint is an expression of my inner self; sometimes it feels as though the subject matter itself becomes the frame that holds that internal voice. Perhaps that’s why my paintings are always so textured and painterly, without too much emphasis on detailed realism.

As you browse my art—whether it’s a painting of a chickadee or a bumblebee—I truly appreciate the time you’ve taken. As you explore my website, you will notice that I have a dedicated page for donations to the International Rhino Keeper Association, IRKA. I have had the privilege in having my artistry connected with this organization for many years. As a person who grew up in Alberta, my relationship with rhinos at first may seem odd, but geography doesn’t limit an artist’s imagination or what they decide to bring alive on canvas.

Sitting down to create traditional artwork seems anachronistic these days, but at the same time, it offers a welcome offset to this increasingly digital-driven world. So, enjoy your time visiting my site and please feel free to contact me with any questions or if a particular piece grabs your attention.
