I would call myself an "ADD" artist. My mind is always going a million miles a minute- I have binders full of ideas that I can hardly wait to start. You will see by my gallery that I like to dabble in all kinds of mediums but my passion is to paint and I often will infuse another medium into it. The gallery is only a small snippet of what I have competed over the last 50 years- I give most of my work away. Water is a huge inspiration to me and everything that comes with it- what's in the water, around the water and how it moves.
I would also call myself a "Jock" artist. I love sports as much as I love art- they both take passion, dedication, commitment and perseverance to be successful. I have been blessed to teach for over 30 years and my students have inspired me to be a better artist by helping me push my boundaries, experiment, look beyond the obvious and helped me grow to be a great problem solver.
If you would like a painting of your pet or for a gift, I can work with you to create a unique piece that will capture their personality. It can be painted realistically or abstract- it can be painted in oils, acrylics or water colour. If you are interested, you can contact me by email or phone:
