Art has always been a big part of my life, eventually leading me to study graphic design in Montreal followed by the Alberta College of Art & Design (ACAD), graduating with a major in Visual Communications. It’s through my design training and career experience that my sense of colour and composition evolved.

After many years working in the design field, I began painting seriously in 2001 enrolling in a painting program at ACAD. I attended classes for several years and continue with the life long process of learning with ongoing workshops.

I paint primarily in oil and would describe my work as impressions of nature inspired by a direct response to my world. When painting, I attempt to infuse the canvas with the energy I feel from my subject. I let the work evolve using colour to express light, illustrate perspective, represent mass and evoke mood.
