Biography

Born and raised in Dieppe, New Brunswick, I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember. Our family spent weekends and vacations camping along the beaches and rivers throughout the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec and Ontario.  Dad, who was an avid fly fisherman and Mom, who was born and raised on a farm in Quebec, we  walked the beaches, rivers or forests picking berries, fishing, digging clams, camping...it was just part of our lives and there was plenty of inspiration for my paintings wrapped around family time.

While continuing to paint, I joined the Canadian Armed Forces learning from great people and forming lifelong friendships in many places across Canada, USA and Europe. Growing up in the Maritimes I thought the pace of life was a bit slow, the towns too small and that the grass had to be greener everywhere else. Now that I have explored other parts of the world and have a better sense of how fortunate I have been, those are exactly the things I cherish most.  These memories continue to influence my work along with the process of gathering reference material, painting on location and creating the paintings in my studio. 

My work has evolved from aspiring to create realism toward focusing on a more romantic construction of simple elements.  I enjoy working where not every step is planned and controlled, exploring the impression of a landscape while inviting the viewer to share with me a pause in everyday things and the memories that it triggers in their own selves.
