Growing up surrounded by the rugged wilderness of Northern Ontario, my love of nature began at an early age. I was inspired by my family who's love of the outdoors manifested itself by countless days of fishing, hunting and camping. Drawn by the beauty and mystery of nature, I was always on the lookout for wildlife, exploring every inch of the forest floor or tree canopy. As a result, I had a need to express this beauty through my drawings and paintings. This undying urge to learn as much as I could about the living world around us later led me to an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree specializing in Biology while I continued to paint and draw part time.
My favorite mediums include graphite pencil and watercolor but I also work with acrylic, oil and pastel. I am a self-taught artist and enjoy very much experimenting with different forms of art. My other interests include photography, furniture designing, small mammal husbandry and gardening.
