BIOGRAPHY

Working in Oil, Acrylic and Watercolour, I select the media that I feel will best suit my subject. I try to convey a sense of atmosphere and location, rather than just producing a photographic rendering. "I want the viewer of my paintings to experience the joy I had in their creation, and to see even familiar things in a new way. A painting should expand the wall that it is on, and allow the viewer to enter a new dimension." I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Art. Currently I am represented by The Cornerstone Gallery, Stirling Scotland, Jacobson & Associates, Art consultants of Toronto and Studio 737 Art Gallery in Tweed. I teach workshops in Canada and the United States and my book "Color Secrets for Glowing Oil Paintings", is published by Northlight Publication of Cincinnati, Ohio. EXHIBITIONS
