About Me

My photo
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
I am an artist who was born and raised in Nova Scotia. I went to school in the city but spent my weekends and summers in the country. A lot of my inspiration is found within these areas where nature and man co-exist but I never limit my options. I always approach each painting on an individual basis taking into consideration composition, color, contrast, shadow and light. My work usually entails a lot of detail so I often challenge myself, toss aside most rules and go on instinct to achieve what I'm trying to convey. I am mostly a self-taught artist, who has always been busy creating things for myself or others. I have attended classes at NSCAD where I was encouraged to pursue my life's desire with more ardency. I have been fortunate over the years to be honored with several awards for my work. My work is currently exhibited at the Teichert Gallery at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Argyle Fine Arts, 1559 Barrington St., Halifax, and in various shows throughout the year. If you see work that you are interested in, then please email me and let me know. I also do commissions.

"Lunenburg Academy"

"Lunenburg Academy" , Acrylic, 16" x 20"  This painting I did for many reasons...the main one being that the building itself is so beautiful!  I remember being amazed by it in my childhood when we would go to visit  relatives who lived and grew up in the area. It was built in the late 1800's to teach grades one to twelve for many years and is still being used to this day for children in the area.
