I don't remember a time when art was not an important part of my life. As a child, paints and paper were never in short supply and I was blessed with a family that nurtured my creative expression. Early on, I set about trying to explore and depict the endless paintings and drawings I saw in the world around me. Being a child of a military family, I was always provided with new subject matter as we traveled from coast to coast: a view of the ferry at North Sydney, a hilltop farm in St. Louis du Ha Ha, or incredible walls of rock as the trans Canada highway wove its way through rugged northern Ontario. Years later, I still find myself awestruck as I try to capture my visions of this beautiful country.
My current focus has been on capturing the changing Alberta landscape as rural life becomes less of a way of life, and society more centralized.
In addition to my ongoing landscape work, my latest efforts have been focused on still life painting. I strive to uncover the beauty in the ordinary, the items in our lives that generally go unnoticed. I enjoy combining different objects, textures and moods in a way that enhances what might otherwise be considered mundane.
