My paintings are in the permanent collection of the City of Toronto. I\u2019ve also sold to corporations like the Royal Bank and Versa Services \u2013and to hundreds of private buyers everywhere I\u2019ve lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly self-taught, I began with small watercolours, then moved on to bigger acrylics. I\u2019ve recently tried collage – drywall compound, carpet scraps, cardboard -anything really \u2013 to create a 3D effect, then painted the results \u2013 with interesting results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve taken part in One of a Kind, Toronto City Hall annual art show, Beaches Arts & Craft Show, Elora Art in the Yard (and Plein Air) and I started the Bloor West Village Art Tour (which is still running.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For four years, I exhibited and sold a variety of work at Local Pieces in Fergus, Ontario. This gallery unfortunately closed at the end of December, 2025 and I\u2019m not currently exhibiting anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sorry, folks, as I am not a big fan of social media, you\u2019re unlikely to find me on Instagram!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I do occasionally undertake comissions. I\u2019ve painted three large acrylics for Fergies, one of the most popular food stores in Fergus, Ontario. You can see them, hanging high on the wall there, above all Fergie\u2019s yummy food, as a permanent exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
