"Swirl #6" Painting

After attending the Alberta College of Art and Design I worked in the commercial art field as an illuminated sign designer then as Art Director for Western Living Magazine (Calgary Branch). During this time I also created fine art paintings in hopes of one day painting on a full time basis. My dream came true when in 1986 I had built up enough of a following to leave the commercial arts field and pursue painting full time. Since that time I have developed a reputation for supplying unique works of art in a multitude of mediums and styles to both the private and corporate sectors and has exhibited at the local, national and international levels. My artwork is in the collections of, or has been commission by corporations such as Canada Post, Environment Canada, The Royal Tyrrell Museum, The Alberta Foundation for the Arts, The United Way, The City of Calgary, Medicine Hat Museum, Trans Canada Pipeline, Vancouver General Hospital, and The Esso Art Collection. In my spare time I love to cook, travel and write fiction literature, with my manuscript entitled “Boxes” placing in the top ten in the “2014 Clive Cussler Adventure In Writing Competition.”
