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.

This 6"x6" tile that I titled " The Wave" was one of my entries for this year's Mosaic for Mental Health. The Opening was held in October at the Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing. They continue to sell the tiles throughout the year at various spots as well as the year's Mosaic Poster and cards of selected works. All the funds raised go to the Mental Health Association so I enter a few tiles every year as it's always great to support such a wonderful cause.

 "Point Pleasant Lodge" 16" x 20" It's a fascinating little building with lots of medieval charm. It has been used as many things including a gardener's lodge over the years.
