Artist Bio
Being a self-taught artist, I have derived much of my inspiration from the “GROUP OF SEVEN”, the French Impressionists, and the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh (Bahá’í Faith).
My family and I moved to Vancouver Island in 1988 from Alberta where I first began to paint (approx. 15yrs.ago).
With increasing confirmation and success in my work since that time, I decided in June 1993 to pursue painting on a full-time basis.
During the last few years, I have had many successes and completed several commission pieces for architects, a television production company, and numerous corporate and private collectors. Aside from my studio, my work can be seen at:
KURBATOFF GALLERY, VANCOUVER, B.C.
WILLOW GALLERY, TORONTO, ON
SOUTHSHORE GALLERY, SOOKE, B.C.
AULD KIRK GALLERY, SHAWNIGANLAKE, B.C.
