Growing up in a small town in Ontario, I had a great fondness for various outdoor activities such as running, cycling, camping, hiking, and swimming. I developed a deep appreciation for the changing seasons, from the vibrant greens of spring to the warm and soothing colors of summer, and the breathtaking reds, oranges, and yellows of fall, followed by the serene whites and blues of winter. However, all of that has been matched by the sheer magnificence of the mountains here in Alberta. The sky's striking blue and the mountains proud and strong grey leave me in awe! Exploring the Rockies with my wife has brought us immense joy, fulfillment, and tranquility. We feel incredibly fortunate to reside in such an extraordinary country that is home to numerous diverse and stunning regions. I specialize in creating artwork with a free-flowing and lifelike approach. In my paintings, I employ a combination of palette knives and brushes, either individually or together in a single piece. My subjects range from landscapes and majestic mountains to wildlife, flowers, and still life. My objective is to convey the true essence of each scene, placing emphasis on the vibrant colours, rich textures, dynamic composition, and the captivating interplay of light and shadow.
