About the Artist

I have always been observer.  I can trace my fascination with nature to my very early exposure to camping with my family.  It is a practice I maintain today.  The experiences from camping led me to live through my senses.  I express what my senses encounter through painting. I count myself lucky to have a skill that allows such expression.   

I am an oil painter, painting in the Impressionist style after the 19th century French Impressionists and the Canadian Group of Seven and Tom Thomson.  I explore light, form and colour that nature expresses.  My subjects run from traditional landscapes to the less obvious subjects I find in my travels.  I am largely self taught.  I also teach beginner and intermediate oil painting.
