Since graduating from NSCAD in 1998, I have split my working time between painting landscapes and exploring  ways of painting,  bouncing back and forth between the conceptual, abstract and loose forms of representation. 

As of late, I have been spending more time with abstract works using a vast arsenal of painting techniques and mark making I have acquired through years of exploration.  The learning, experimenting, trial and error never ends.  I am passionate about paint.  A blank canvas excites me.
