I am essentially self-taught, with help of a few classes and tudorships. I have sketched and drawn since childhood. Architectural studies at Ryerson took me from pencil and pen & ink to watercolour rendering. From there I ventured into oils and, with just a few acrylic exceptions, I have been striving to continuously improve in that medium.

I am a native Brockvillian. My wife, Betty, and I moved to Belleville from Toronto in January 2007.  I am a past member of The Willowdale Group of Artists.

I tend towards landscapes, but often I create cityscapes and rural/cottage scenes that attract me due to my architectural bent and because of receiving commissions to do so. Additionally, I have created several acrylic wall murals. Much of my work has been realistic in nature by necessity but I am venturing into some impressionistic works at present because I find that style more creative, subjective and more in demand.
