As a practicing artist I have had numerous solo and group exhibitions and art work (paintings, drawings, prints, mixed media) in public and private collections. I have over fifty years experience teaching art and art education at the public school and post secondary levels. A central feature of my art practice is daily drawing. I have been drawing in a sketch book every day for the past 28 years. I prefer to work with themes in both my art making and teaching. My central art themes are Mounties and dogs, specifically my own two dogs which i draw every day.
