The Artist

After my years at the Ontario College of Art in the 60’s, being
co-curator of the Sarnia Art Gallery, raising a family and painting when possible, I am now doing what I love best, which is painting.

Working with acrylics and watercolours I attempt to capture the beauty of Powell River and beyond.

What a find this little piece of paradise has been. Everywhere you look there is something to inspire. Who needs a muse? The whole area is a muse!

With watercolours I primarily record the landscape and seascape of the upper Sunshine Coast, but with acrylics, I prefer to experiment more with glazes and textures and other forms of creative painting. After many years of being awed by the local landscape, I have finally started experimenting with abstractions of the area and am enjoying the more random creativity.
