In the studio

An artist "invents" from the confusion of life a simplification, a picture with more order than the literal subject apparently has, so as to suggest by analogy a wider coherence throughout life.

I am a painter based on Bowen Island, BC, and a graduate of Emily Carr University, class of 1974.

Early in my career, I specialized in acrylics, often incorporating photographic elements through a canvas treated with photosensitive emulsion. Notable exhibitions in the late 1970s and early 1980s included representation at the Helen Pitt Gallery and Frans Wynn's Gallery, along with participation in Vancouver's Warehouse Shows.
