Welcome
Every painting I create reflects my dedication to my art, and my desire to create a painting that is both beautiful and technically skilled.
I enjoy creating paintings in a variety of mediums and styles in my Muskoka studio.

Landscapes
I enjoy depicting the natural world around me, exploring the details of texture, atmosphere, and light. I try to capture the beauty that I see in my Muskoka setting, my daily observations, and my experiences.
Abstract
Abstract painting allows me the opportunity to really have fun with an idea - to explore a theme in an evolving way, or to explore a more fantasy style. Each painting is a process that creates a truly unique result.
Portraits
In portrait work, I can capture those who are important to me in a way that a mere photograph cannot. Some of the paintings here were commissioned pieces for others - a unique heirloom for those families.
My Philosophy
Creating art has defined me since I was a young boy. The music of the progressive rock band “Yes” has defined me since I was in my teens. Their music almost always accompanies my creative endeavours and inspires my work. I believe my art embraces the same philosophy - to produce work that is beautiful, uplifting, technically skilled, challenging, complex and creative. I try to capture the beauty of the natural world, the everyday, and the people who are most important to me. I paint what pleases me, and hope that others will also be able to identify with it and find it pleasing too.
