There is so much joy that I derive from painting – seeing something in the world with new eyes that inspires an interpretation of the landscape and its inhabitants. Or simply imagining and then crafting images that convey a sentiment or tell a story. My work is realistic and is intended to evoke an emotional response often by combining subject matter in unexpected ways. People in the landscape. Wildlife interacting with humans. Continuously experimenting keeps me growing as a painter.

I studied fine art at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada and have exhibited my work in juried shows and solo shows in Canada and the United States. My artwork has been the one constant throughout my life. I currently live in Minden, Nevada.
