Artist Statement

I strive to depict Ithe natural landscape in its moods and seasons.

I paint and sketch in the great outdoors and try to bring into my studio

work the energy and freshness of plein air work. My paintings

explore the beauty of the Canadian landscape, lush flowers and still lifes.
