Welcome to my online gallery!

I have been painting full time professionally since 1979. I received my BFA from the University of Victoria in that year and since then have been lucky enough to be able to earn my living as an artist.

In my painting, I discover and explore my reality and my memories. I realize that I am not only remembering specific moments but in some of my recent paintings, interpreting the act of memory itself. I am interested in what the distance of time and space can do to distort and obscure the images.

Dream images have also continued to be a source of inspiration for me. The other vein that is present in my work is concerned with beauty; my wonder at just how beautiful the world is...beautiful and, at times, terrible.

I work in oil, acrylic, watercolour, and monotype. I hope that you enjoy the work!
