Art has always been part of my life and is a natural endeavour for me. I love working with my hands and also the aesthetics of trying to impart the sense of empathy in what I see and enjoy around me.

I am self-taught and tend to get involved with an art media for 4 to 5 years and then move on to another. In this regard, I have spent years in each of the areas of photography, watercolours, oils, carving and now I am just getting into digital art. I also have dabbled a little in poetry and see it as an extension of a painter's brush.

My journey into digital art is one of trying to use it in a way that closely resembles the natural media of watercolours, oils etc and endeavouring to produce one off printed canvases.

I generally prefer figurative type painting but as you can see my work tends to reflect a pretty eclectic interest. I enjoy the outdoors and cross country-skiing in winter and kayaking and gardening in summer. I mention this as it so influences the subject of my art. A little taste of this is illustrated here. On an Early Morning.

Until now I have had a section in this website on my kayaking travels. This can now be found at www.ThePaddler.ca

I do not display my work through galleries and this website in part fills this void. I am a member of the Ottawa Art Association and through their program I continually have paintings on display at the Ottawa Little Theatre.

I also enjoy website programming and appreciate any comments or ideas as to how to make this site more enjoyable for you, my guests.

Once again, thank you very much for taking an interest in my art.

Have a great day.
