Initially I would like to say thanks for taking the time to visit my website. 

​

I was born and raised in Vancouver and have always enjoyed the outdoors and been passionate about art. My initial artistic focus was working with wood and this led me into a 30 year teaching career in the wood industry. While teaching I attended art classes at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and Langara College.

​

Now that I am retired from teaching, my focus has moved away from wood and into painting and drawing.  I hope you enjoy my work,

​
