I had painted and drawn through most of the 70's, had work in group show, had a one man show at Sir Sanford Fleming College in Peterborough Ontario, and work in a gallery in Toronto.I even took a few life drawing classes at the New School of Art in Toronto. Ithink of the work I did then as ancient history, and it is not included in this web site. Then, as I like to tell my friends, mortgages and babies intervened, and I put away my paint and brushes for 20 years. In the late 90's I started doing some stained glass designs for a friend, and one day, after completing a particularly intricate design, I realized that I'd actually done a sketch for a painting. Gradually over the next few years I painted more and more of the time, so that by mid 2003 it was clear that painting was once again my main activity, after a 23 year break.

This web site contains images of art work I have done since 1999. I've divided the site into four sections. Three are chronological; Early Work, Sacred Spaces, & Current Work. The fourth, Experiments in Form, brings together pieces where I drifted further out towards some edge, either in the shape of the painting or in the style. These two different ways of grouping things will give you a good idea of how my art has developed and hopefully progressed over the years.

Each image will be labelled with it's name, medium, size, and if it is for sale, a red star *. Inquire if you are interested. All paintings are acrylic on canvas, except where noted.

I Hope you enjoy yourself. Comments, questions, criticism and purchase orders will all be appreciated.
