Moving to North Kawartha in 1990 brought me the gift of studio space as well as opportunity for involvement with several vibrant arts communities. I graduated from OCA(D) with honours (fine art drawing and painting) in 1991.

A visual artist, my primary focus in recent years has been abstraction and occasionally, conceptual work. My art tends toward dramatic gesture and emotional colour; art that responds to and reflects the increasingly tumultuous geopolitical issues of our time along with the less world-shaking issues of interpersonal relationships. And, sometimes, reflects the ever-changing beauty of my surroundings. I am drawn equally to intense colour, texture, and intent, all reflected in my work. Dialogue with the viewer is everything.

Over the past 30+ years my artistic practice has explored such diverse themes as democracy and international politics (The Democracy Project, Art Gallery of Peterborough, 2004), the AIDS pandemic (Impact Aids, Rebecca Gallery, 2006), Truth & Reconciliation (Reconciliation, Art Gallery of Bancroft, 2023), familial relationships, and always, the abstract nature of our universe.

Beyond Studio Tour weekend, my studio is open to the public by appointment.
