Artist Statement:
I call myself a Directivist
and I paint with deliberate
intent.
My paintings are primarily
non-representational. They are
inspired by energy, movement,
sound or common things. I
express this through large
broad brushstrokes, washes of
colour and layered drips of
paint. I work mostly large
scale; five by seven feet or
larger. I often work in dark
tones or bright colours. The
paintings can be concrete or
random in their composition,
linear or sculptural in their
presence. It is the contrast
that I find most interesting.
My paintings have been
exhibited in solo and group
exhibitions in Vancouver,
Toronto and New York. They are
included in public, corporate
and private collections.
I was born in London,
England. I graduated from the
Experimental Arts department
at The Ontario College of Art
( Now called The Ontario
College of Art & Design ) in
Toronto, Ontario Canada.
I am painting The Olympians.
The Greek Gods -Apollo, Zeus
and Poseidon and others. See

paintings. I list some of
these below with much
appreciation and respect for
the great work they do. Thank
you!
