Artist's Statement
I am a Canadian artist living in Mission, B.C. |
|
|
I was born in Edmonton, Alberta and was painting as a child. |
 |
|
Later, I took workshops and lessons, when available, in Oregon, the Okanagan and the Fraser Valley. |
|
|
This valley is lush green valley between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, close to Vancouver. Everywhere that you look is a beautiful scene just waiting to be painted. I never run out of ideas. |
|
I graduated from the University of Alberta and also hold a degree in music from Toronto, Ontario
|
|
I have been painting seriously since about 1974. Besides being a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, I belong to several art clubs, and am a life member of the Mission Artists Association. |
|
|
I paint everyday, if possible. Painting, to me, is like eating—if you don’t do it every day, you get a gnawing in your stomach.
|
 
|
My works are original oils, watercolours and mixed media or collage. Some of my works are abstract

|
Usually I work in my studio, but I like to work outdoors “plein air” (out on location) too. |
|
|
I have works in private collections in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. |
|
|
My belief is that art is a gift and as such has to be used. To me, it is a lifetime love. I’m sure that a lot of what I feel shows in my original work. My paintings are always changing and evolving as I get new ideas. |
