I obtained my Diploma in Fine Arts at the Toronto School of Art (TSA) in 1997 at the age of 50. At TSA, I studied drawing, painting and sculpture, art history and contemporary issues, and I worked with the human figure as my main vocabulary.

In 2002, I started painting landscapes, beginning with a trip to the North Saskatchewan River. That same year, my wife and I moved to the Bancroft area. At first I painted the York and Madawaska Rivers; then I discovered the woodland beauty waiting at my door step. For the past six years I have painted the woods I live in. Trees emerge from the earth and decay back into it. The seasons change. Light enters the forest canopy and scatters on the leaves and ground. The breeze animates everything. These rhythms are timeless and they enchant me. I try to engage them in my paintings in a flowing union of woodland forms and colours.

My work can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, the United States and England.
