My subjects run from traditional landscapes to the less obvious subjects I find in my travels.
I am an observer. I always have been an observer. I can trace my fascination with observing nature to my very early exposure to camping with my family. Those experiences gave me the opportunity to live through my senses. I express what my senses encounter through painting. I count myself lucky to have a skill that allows such expression.
I am a modern impressionist oil painter after the 19th century French Impressionists and the Canadian Group of Seven and Tom Thompson. I love to explore how light shapes the landscape. My subjects run from traditional landscapes to the less obvious subjects I find in my travels. I am largely self-taught. I also teach beginner and intermediate oil painting.
