I have been creating surrealist paintings in acrylic and oil on canvas for 30+ years, which are images of hope and healing. Many of my pieces begin with a base of non-objective colour and texture, and end up as a blend of abstract and creative realism, often contrasting stormy skies with peaceful subjects, reminding us that there is love and order even in a seemingly chaotic world if we take the time to look and choose a positive outlook on life.

My work is collected worldwide and has been included in national and international juried exhibitions. Many of my paintings are created before live audiences at community and charity events, to the delight of viewers of all ages and walks of life. I am also known throughout the Niagara region and the GTA for wall murals and window painting.
