I am a visual artist based in Guelph, Ontario, Canada exhibiting work for over 20 years. My self-taught technique is expressed through the media of oil paint and dry pastels. I have a keen interest in spiritual and visionary encounters with landscape and aim to reveal the mystery of the land. I have had solo and collaborative exhibitions from the 1980's to the present in Guelph at Renaan Isaacs Contemporary Art Gallery, Ed Video Media Arts Centre, The Kloepfer Gallery, in addition to the Flesherton Art Gallery and Elizabeth’s Art Gallery in Goderich. I have also been an artist in residence in Guelph, Canada (2002), and have been funded by the Ontario Arts Council (2012, 2013, 2016).
Artist Statement: My aim is to further explore a way to express the underlying beauty in the seemingly mundane world and to develop a deeper connection in other to the otherworldly aspects of what surrounds us.
