I participated in a gallery showing in 2018 at Motion Gallery in Calgary and my paintings are present in private collections in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, and also in Belgium. In addition to painting scenes that I select, I will work from scenes provided by clients on commission.

How can one improve on the beauty of nature? I do my best to transmit the feeling I get when viewing the magnificence of the natural world. I particularly enjoy interpreting skyscapes, the most dramatic aspect of our environment here in Western Canada. To me, the sky is the most important element of a landscape painting as it dictates the light and colours present in the land, and sets the mood of the painting. I paint in my home studio with photos that I and my friends and family provide. The time it takes me to complete a painting varies depending on the size of the canvas and the intricacy of the scene. I approach my work as an intellectual exercise as well as a creative one. While the paintings can appear rather haphazard close up, the further away you are, the more realistic they look. This approach was common among Impressionist painters and has been my “natural” method of depicting the landscape.
