I have always been interested in art. After retirement I turned to a serious pursuit of painting.  My passion for painting spans a wide range of subjects from landscapes to animals, florals to abstracts.

I paint both plein air and in studio. I’m largely self-taught but have studied with several Canadian and America landscape artists.

I enjoy working with oils for the immediacy of an ‘alla prima’ technique when painting. As well I like to interpret the landscape around me using my imagination along with interpreting the scene in front of me when creating a piece.

When working in acrylics and other water media I enjoy building the painting by applying multiple glazes creating a depth to the surface. Whatever the medium, I strive to use movement, form, and light to drawing the viewer in.
