My goal is to connect to the viewer through painted images that capture the eye and move the spirit. I work with oils and focus on capturing the peace, spirit, and hidden power of ever-changing landscapes.

I started painting over thirty years ago and participated in local shows with a group of artists who met regularly at my home. Over the years, self-employment as a furniture and kitchen designer has kept my observation and design skills keen, my creations were three dimensional but painting was reserved for scarce spare time. In 2010, I re-connected to painting and the results showed quickly, wining the "Peoples Choice Award" at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery in Minden. Since then I have participated in juried, solo and group shows.

Boathouse studio is in Carnarvon, ON in Haliburton County and I can often can be found en plein air painting the rugged beauty found there.
