About Us
Realist/Impressionist artist painting in oils and acrylics and focusing mainly on the Canadian Urban scene and Landscape. Works both en plein air and in the studio and enjoys a variety of subject matter and the challenges of commissioned works.
How We Got Started
Have always drawn and painted since early childhood. After a major life change in 1985, began painting on a daily bases and haven't stopped. Fell in love with plein air painting in the early 90's, works in all seasons and create larger studio pieces using the onsite as reference material.

I was the main motivator. I was always painting even when working full time in the workforce to support myself and my family. Then I added Art School (OCAD) on top of that and eventually found a studio, exhibited at art shows and finally created my business as it exists today

A voucher to cover some original art is a great gift. Because art is so personal, choosing a painting for someone else isn't the best idea.

I usually do exhibitions in local restaurants in November. Plus I always have paintings on my home walls and get some sales when entertaining. Occasionally I will do a pre-Xmas studio exhibition.
