"I was born in Manitoba but grew up in BC. Having spent a good portion of my life there, I had come to realize the beauty that was there. I began painting in hopes of being able to capture, and share, a small bit of that beauty with others. I am a self taught artist, and now work as a professional artist. I live in a small town in Saskatchewan and in spite of what many think about Prairie life... there is a lot more than "wide open" spaces. The prairies offer many subjects for my work and I hope to be able to incorporate some of its charm in upcoming pieces."
