About Myself A NATIVE OF CANADA, I grew up on both coasts, being fortunate to experience the many contrasts between the eastern shores of Nova Scotia and the rain forests of British Columbia, my home province. One of nine children, all of whom work in the creative arts, I was motivated partly by a need to find an individual expression for my own creativity and partly by the necessity to seek a practical outlet in terms of making a good living. see resume The result was a successful 15-year career in commercial graphic arts, capped by four years working as a senior graphic designer in the earth observation/aerospace industry. see corporate design In late 1994, I was given an opportunity to forgo commercial art and face an even bigger challenge: relocating to a new country and devoting myself full time to a dream yet unrealized, exploring expression through painting in oils. I married an American and moved to Montana, where I found myself in the middle of a vast landscape dominated by the sky and bordered by mountains and prairie. Soon the focus of my art turned to this very strong, subtly evocative environment. see paintings in oil I have always been deeply influenced by the natural beauty encountered in my life, much of it desolate and inhospitable. From the remoteness of the Canadian north, to the diverse and spectacular coastlines of Canada, and now in Montana where the light and mood of the landscape is constantly changing: I hope these paintings reflect those changes in all their diversity and mystery. Welcome to my website. May a little of Montana's beauty stay with you.
