| After
attending the University of Manitoba School of Fine
Arts, I relocated to Toronto to pursue a career in
Advertising Design and eventually owned and operated an
advertising agency out of Aurora, Ontario, for over
twenty years. Design, like painting, requires
discipline, good composition and balance. I remain
committed to the elements of design.
I’ve been
enjoying the Muskoka lifestyle for eight years as a
permanent resident. Prior to moving to Gravenhurst, my
family and myself enjoyed many summers at our
cottage/studio on Loon Lake. The atmosphere is extremely
conducive to creativity. I've included two of my 'Ice
Series' on this page. They are based on real ice
formations on Lake Ontario during the Winter of 2004-05.
These formations took on the appearance of winter crowds
at the beach or very chilled fans of beach volleyball.
My short
stories and poetry have been published regionally and
nationally, while my art has evolved into what you see
on display today. I enjoy blending the two disciplines
and am in the process of attaching visuals to all my
writing with the hope of producing and publishing my
inaugural compilation in the very near future.

My
pet portraits are my current passion!
Over
the past few years, I have been enjoying the spontaneity
of pets and how they enjoy posing for the camera. I
normally request 4 or 5 photos to find the true
personality of the subject. If you have shots of your
favorite pet that you would like rendered into a
watercolour portrait, please call me for an appointment or
send pictures via email. My 11" x 7" portraits
hang in many Muskoka homes as well as across Canada and
the U.S.A.
