Born in Yorkshire England, I have lived my life in Paris, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
As long as I can remember, I have been inspired to create. Painting professionally since 1992, I returned to Vancouver in 2005 after three decades of study, travel and artistic development. A constant source of delight and artistic stimulus, the West Coast has renewed my energy and vision. Whether perceived on location, from memory or imagination, with every brush stroke, I seek to reawaken reverence for this beautiful planet. Colour is my passion, and it inspires me to interpret the beauty and to reveal the magic in everyday reality. I am a contributing member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Vancouver British Columbia, and a supporting member of the Society of Canadian Artists, Toronto, Ontario.
