My career as an artist commenced in Rhode Isand where I dedicated over a decade to nuture and teach artistic skills to adults with disabilities and special needs. During this period I honed and developed my artistic abilities through a mentorship in metal work and a jewelry design course at the prestigious
Rhode Island School Of Design.
In 2004 I moved back home to Ontario to pursue art as a full time career. My art reflects the serene beauty of our Canadian landscape in particular the many lakes and forests of the Kawarthas where I live.
Twin Pines 92"x 48"
This year (2024) I stopped my metal work, it's been a rewarding medium to work in , the downside is the manual grinding and welding. I'm now focusing on my paintings.
