PERSONAL:
Born in St. Catherines Ontario, I have traveled and painted across Canada, the United States and Europe. Having worked in the commercial art field for 10 years, I left and started my fine arts career.
In the past 3 years I have added wildlife painting to my portrait painting and scenery. Everywhere I go, I am visiting Zoos.
Wildlife Reserves, Wildlife Refuges, or National Parks. I am dragging my family around, while I sketch the lazy animals, and
photograph the active ones. This seems to be my passion, and being a very prolific painter, (in Oil, Batik, Watercolor, or Scratch Board,
working 5 to 7 days a week), I am producing 3 to 5 paintings a week.
