Initially self-taught, I later honed my skills through drawing and painting courses at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
An online course introduced me to an incredible mentor whose guidance transformed my art, elevating it to new heights. This connection led to a memorable experience in 2015, attending her inspiring art retreat in France. There, I painted alongside talented artists from around the world, immersing myself in a rich exchange of creativity and ideas.
My work has been featured in juried exhibitions, and I have had the honour of seeing my art displayed and sold at the Auburn Gallery in Muskoka, Ontario.

Through painting, I strive to express my passion and creativity.
My hope is that each piece evokes emotions and sparks memories, bringing a sense of joy and connection to those who experience it.
Events
Society For International Hockey Research
In May 2018 I displayed my '72 Series of hockey paintings at the General Meeting of this group of hockey writers and historians in Parry Sound, Ontario. It was a lot of fun to share my experience painting this series with people who relate to my passion.
