“I am endlessly inspired by the light, water, rock and trees in the landscape surrounding my studio in northwestern Ontario, and my travels across Canada and abroad.
I started my professional career as a scientific researcher in the field of genetics before turning to the arts, a field that requires a great deal of creativity and examination of concepts in the abstract. I apply these concepts to my art practice where subject matter is examined at a micro and macroscopic level leading to the overall imagery.Living, hiking and painting in the Canadian Rockies for over three decades has given me a profound connection to, and appreciation of, the mountain landscape. I paint plein air whenever possible, and strive to communicate the sensations and elations of the outdoor painting experience. I paint relentlessly. I teach painting, I study painting, I think and dream about painting. It’s a wonderful fascination.”
