BIOGRAPHY
About the Artist
The early years of my art career were pursued following a long business career. I studied at the Ontario College of Art and with leading International artists. I began as a watercolourist, but was persuade to switch to acrylics by one of my teachers very early on. I respond to the acrylic medium on canvas as it suits my impulsive nature and need to work intuitively and quickly, bringing in assorted other mediums and materials. My abstract works have been well received and have provided the necessary encouragement to stretch and test my abilities.
Representation over the years has included fine galleries in Toronto, Victoria, and Vancouver , B.C. Canada. Private collections are in Canada, USA, Europe and Japan.
