Artist Statement
Although I grew up in the Thousand Islands area of Ontario, I spent much of my life in Winnipeg where I raised my family and had my professional career in education. My interest in nature, science and the visual arts fuels my artistic endeavours creating compositions in acrylics and producing fine art photography. I am inspired by the iconic works of the Group of Seven and gravitate to painting landscapes of northern Ontario. Rural road trips and a boat trip through the Trent Severn Waterway have reinforced my love of this scenery. My photography is a totally different genre, with most of my images capturing vibrant murals of graffiti from locations in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. My goal as an artist is to help enrich visual arts in the community and enhance personal and corporate spaces with captivating images.
