Summary:
I am a visual artist residing in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Currently the majority of my work is in oils, painting a wide variety of subjects en plein air and in the studio. I strive to capture moments in time - places, moods and transitioning landscapes. History and our impact on the world around us is of specific importance to my artistic vision.
