I have a studio above my garage in Magnetawan. It is not open to the public, but if interested in looking at my work on display there, you can contact me and set up an an appointment. I am always happy to chat and show my art.
Introduction
My work and style is in a constant state of evolution. I started with pen and ink because the medium was inexpensive and not costly to reproduce. Later in life, I painted Canadian wildlife on reclaimed pine lumber. The wood I used was once siding or flooring in a 100+year old barn. Each piece is unique and when preparing the surface for painting, I leave as much of the original board as possible. The knots, holes, and marks where an animal gnawed on the wood add to the artwork and make it a truly original work. I have sold most of these pieces as they were very popular, but I still have a few left.
As my skills developed in painting, I craved a smoother surface in order to get the realistic effects I was looking for. I now mostly paint on canvas or cradleboards. If you have any questions, please contact me.
In 2019, I was asked to write an article about my art in the Almaguin Highlands Community Guide Magazine. My picture was taken in front of the mural I painted for Danny's Justa Pasta many, many moons ago.
