Artist Biography

 

In the early 80’s I went through  Ontario College of Art in their experimental arts department then followed up by honouring  the practical and scientific side of my personality and became a pharmacist.   It has been the  perfect job for allowing me the freedom to be creative during my off hours.

Over the years I have participated in a few group shows with my digital painting.  I love digital, but  there is something just too enticing about physical mark making and getting messy  which always pulls me back to oil or acrylics and other media. I currently work in a variety of mediums; acrylic, oils, cold wax, pastels, charcoal as well as digital painting, stitch and rug hooking. I am primarily interested in abstract figurative  and narrative work.

In the past few years I have been  involved with the Alfrescoe plein aire painting group and have been doing weekly portraits with Artpod as well as taking art courses to improve my skills.

I may have been born in Toronto, Ontario and travelled the world but there is no place I would rather be than here in Metchosin.  When I paint I like to feel the wind on my back, connecting me to my home and the world around me.
