Thanks for visiting. I am a visual artist living on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast in the traditional territory of the Skwxwú7mesh Nation. The natural world, particularly the wild areas of British Columbia, is my primary inspiration. As a painter who frequently takes creative detours to experiment in imagery, mediums and techniques, I have developed a unique visual language combining abstraction, landscape and folk art to express and honour this remarkable ecosystem.
I grew up on the West Vancouver side of Howe Sound, then spent the next dozen years working/playing/studying/teaching in three regions of British Columbia, Greece and the UK, eventually settling back in the Vancouver area. During these years I mostly worked as a teacher in the public school system. I didn’t start painting again until 18 years after receiving a BFA in Visual Art from the University of Victoria. Since then I have had a varied career, exhibiting my work in public and commercial spaces in both British Columbia and farther afield. I moved to Gibsons in 2015, returning to my Howe Sound roots.
