Amidst the trees Painting

I was born in London, Ontario & spent my high school years in England at Roedean in Brighton, Sussex. After graduating with A-levels in the arts, I returned to Canada. I spent many formative years studying and working as a medical illustrator and computer animator in Toronto and the US before returning to my hometown to pursue a life long interest in portrait painting. My Dundas Street studio is located in a historic building in the heart of downtown London.

People in my life and places they inhabit inspire me to paint. Portraiture is the foundation of my work; however, I discovered through painting that my subjects not only inhabit a variety of spaces but that these same spaces inhabit them.
