The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

I have always loved this definitive and creative type of artist expression. Wanderings of the mind coursing slopes of angles and rigid forms; softened vistas in bright moments of color as enlightenment - against the black and white of pen and ink - rise out of pulpy pages, a forest of meaning and truth!! Scripted curves and sails on reach out of page to catch "the onrushing" winds of "Grace" that stir a heart's canvases of longing; a flutter!
