WHAT ART MEANS TO ME....

Art is such an incredible means of expression. My painting, as in my music career has involved decades of study, experimentation and a substantial emotional investment. I find joy in the creation of each piece of artwork that has found its way into the hearts, homes, cottages, offices and now home offices of clients. The hope is to make people smile when they look at their painting. My signature whimsical textured style is simply my interpretation of nature and of life. Over the years I have to say I am so grateful that my artwork has been featured on television programs, in magazines, newspapers and in designer window displays. I have shown my artwork in Canadian and US Galleries as well as in Europe.

The Creative Process

Drawing & Texture

I am known for my large, whimsical, textured original paintings. The journey of an original piece of art begins with drawing the image on a canvas, then applying generous amounts of molding paste to begin to creating a sculpture like dimension and incredible texture. Once that has dried, I begin to add color using designer colour decks as a palett

Adding Colour

Acrylics are mixed to a precise colour match. The result is a large uplifting, textured original canvas that is sure to touch someone’s soul. Many clients ask for a custom painting in tones from their existing space or they fall in love with a large piece at the Studio and decorate around it. When creating using the latest designer tones, it's always easier for clients to find accessories to decorate around a paintin

Thornbury Scenes

Thornbury Village

I moved to Thornbury a few years back and was quickly inspired by the quirky Main Street. Residents and visitors alike really enjoy their favourite stops, shops & cafes!

Village Scenes

Blue Mountain Village

There is a whimsical magic about "The Village" with it's fabulous architecture and colour hues of the buildings. I was inspired to try and bring some of that that magic onto canvas. Today, they have evolved into memory boards for families. I love to paint my own renditions of the village and also enjoy creating commissions for families of their favorite places...their memories of special times spent at Blue Mountain Village. I also enjoy working with Blue Mountain Village doing Live Art Demo's through the Summer and Fall.

Apres Ski

Apres Ski Scenes

Apres Ski at a Private Ski Club or Blue Mountain Village is truly a favorite for most skiers during the winter in The Blue Mountains. It is also the inspiration for my "Apres Ski With Friends" paintings!

The Ladies

Ladies Night Out Scenes

Being a professional entertainer I have spent a lot of time watching people while performing around the world. I enjoy painting ladies at the bar scenes. The fun is in the texture of their hair and I also add a touch of jewelry!
