Artist’s Statement

My paintings and drawings express the joy I feel looking at the world. Whether I’m creating portraits, landscapes, or still life images; I want to share the beauty I see.

About Me

If you'd told me In December 2007, "You're going to write a blog, and because of that blog you'll meet people from all over Canada, the United States, England, France, The Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Ireland, India, Norway, Australia,” I would never have believed you. But that’s exactly what happened, and it’s been so wonderful.

My life as an artist got another jolt of excitement when I was invited to be on the Oprah Winfrey show, “Skype Around the World” in May 2009. I drew Oprah live, via Skype. See page 7. Suddenly my art attracted media attention here in Canada on TV, and in major newspapers and magazines. Plus I was invited to show in exhibitions in Florence, Italy, in Paris, France, and in New York City, U.S.A.  

In recent years our time in Nova Scotia every summer, at our 100+-year-old schoolhouse has been a visual gift. Many of my landscape works celebrate the beautiful Maritime environment, and incredible cloud formations I marvel at there. 

Through international art shows, my blog, Instagram and Facebook, I’ve become part of a dynamically creative, international art community. That’s made this artistic journey a fantastic experience.
