Ever since I can remember I have been a communicator and an interpreter. Early in my professional career I was responsible for interpreting technical specifications into laymen’s language. This led to a career in corporate and technical communications, writing manuals and newsletters. The majority of my career was in information technology and again, it was my responsibility to bridge the gap between technology and the layman. I often wanted to pursue the arts but just never had the time while I was working full-time. Now retired, I have the luxury of pursuing the visual arts and trying my hand at communicating through painting, drawing, and photography.

I am inspired by nature and gravitate to natural scenes with positive energy. I am an avid photographer and will often look to my photographs for inspiration. I find people and particularly children, interesting subjects. Their world is simple and focused and I like to capture images that reflect their experiences and curiosity.

I work primarily in acrylics on either canvas or wood. I like to create a composition that will catch the viewer’s interest right away and then use artistic techniques to move the viewer’s eye around the piece. There’s a positive energy to my work – I tend to employ uplifting images and colours with an overriding objective to leave the viewer with a sense enjoyment and satisfaction. Using a semi-realistic style, my objective is to give the viewer an opportunity to interpret the artwork from their own perspective.
