I have been working as an artist for most of my life. I graduated from The Ontario College of Art, now known as OCAD and studied fine art at York University in Toronto. I began my professional career as a painter and a sculptor. Always painting, I ventured into other areas and medium. I studied photography and glassblowing throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. The main focus of my work has always been painting and sculpture and my mediums vary, stone carving, bronze, glass casting and blowing, oil painting, watercolour, and a fresh medium using acrylic, polymer, resin, wax and adhesive.

For many years I also loved to paint my studio gardens.......a journey to Antarctica in 1992 lead me to paint ice which eventually lead me to glass.
