"There is perhaps no more complete a reality than a chair and a table" - Patrick White

The "constant familiar" is that visual world unique to each of us, particularly in what we sample, what we store and how it is imprinted at the subconscious level. My paintings express this imprint. They are the harvest of combined elements from an internal archive.

Thank you for visiting.

I studied Fine Art in the at the University of Victoria in British Columbia and Art and Education at the University of Calgary in Alberta. During two years in London, England, I had the good fortune to meet the late British painter Guy Roddon, who invited me to draw and paint in the south of France. An enduring influence, he became a dear friend and mentor to whom I will always be grateful. In Vancouver, Canada, I was represented at the Deborah Worsfold Gallery then moved to Denman, one of the beautiful Gulf Islands on the west coast.

I continue to exhibit and my studio and gallery is open to the public. I have works in private collections in the U.K., France, Norway, Holland, Canada, and the U.S.A.
