Artist Biography

Over the course of my career I have worked as a graphic designer, art director, animator, multi-media developer, instructional designer, visual artist and painting instructor. My fascination with exploring possibilities has led to a diverse painting practice. The thread that runs through my work is my observation of human interaction with wilderness. On a formal level, my work examines the sensory and emotional experience I personally have while walking the trails where I live in the Bow Valley and the places I visit. Wilderness can be a place of self-discovery and the approach I have to my work mirrors those acts of discovery offered up by the natural world.
