"My formal art studies awakened in me a great love for the Old Masters, and particularly the work of 19th and early 20th Century painters.
In my landscape work, I seek to transport the viewer to another place and time. To excite the imagination; to evoke memories and associations, and a love of fantasy and beauty. In my portrait work, I strive to capture the unique character of my subjects at a moment in time."
Canada is home. It’s the only home I’ve ever known.
I grew up in peace and prosperity, thanks to the sacrifices of people like my Dad
and others who risked everything so we could live in freedom today. THANKS DAD!
