I paint my impressions of what I see and feel when looking at my surroundings. My art is intended to start a conversation and encourage people to look at their surroundings.
Acrylic and watercolour are my preferred voice.
I have loved to draw and paint since I was a child, always cherishing the opportunity when it arose. I always felt that I saw the world differently than my family like shadows and the play of light. I have some art training from high school and college but mostly self-taught.
I love to set up my easel and paint in any spot that beckons me or take pics for later use. I have always been influenced by the great outdoors. My childhood was spent in the Scugog region and never ran out of painting references. 18 years ago, I bought a trailer at Lake St Peter in the beautiful Hastings Highlands. Algonquin Park has influenced so many artists in the past and captured me as well.
No matter the weather I’m always trying to get out there to see my beautiful surroundings and try to bring that feeling into my paintings.
