We humans have been painting flowers since the dawn of time. Like the birds and the bees, we seem to have an instinctive response to their beauty and fragrance.

I live in Niagara, an area that produces some of the best fruit and vegetables in Canada. The luscious textures and colours of the fresh produce are a joy to paint.

The Niagara Region is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada, and with good reason. I love to paint it in all seasons.

One of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean, blue skies, white sands, palm trees and friendly people.
Painting for me is simply a way to take possession of what I see. Sometimes I work from life, sometimes sketches or photos, often all three. I am a bad photographer so I paint to record and remember. I paint for entirely selfish reasons, because I enjoy it and because it enables me to see more clearly. If any of this gives anyone else comfort, pleasure or excitement, then that is a bonus. I hope that people will feel something when they look at my paintings, even if it is simply happy, amused, content or, on rare occasions, inspired, but I can’t tell you what to feel.
