BIOGRAPHY
I have been a professional freelance artist for over 35 years; starting with a qualification from Napier University in Interior Design (UK) becoming a concept artist in the commercial and residential interior design industry.
Along the way, I have undertaken design projects for major cosmetic companies and created massive stencils for NHL centre ice. I have had several solo shows, taught evening classes, curated shows, won awards & juried exhibitions. Costume designing for local theatre, air-brushing vehicles and creating murals have also been part of my repertoire.
I have been painting with oils for over 20 years.
I use a knife to create all my paintings, rarely ever using brushes and I focus on small to medium sized canvases.
Living in the woods of North Hastings near Algonquin Park, Ontario, I am continuously inspired by the scenery around me in particular the contrasts and colours that the changing seasons offer.

Over the years I have undertaken many creative projects; I started drawing at a very early age and acquired my first adult sewing machine at age 11. Since then there has been
