I am a native of St. John's, Newfoundland who has been interested in art since my elementary school days, but for one reason or another, I always found an excuse to put off my creative talents.

On January 1, 2004, through the encouragement of family, namely my wife and biggest fan Rhonda, I was persuaded to buy canvas and paint.  I have not looked back since.

I am self taught using the wet on wet technique made famous by the late Bob Ross.  My medium of choice is oil as oil is very forgiving, and allows me to create as I go, however I am now beginning to adventure into acrylics and water colours.  I especially enjoy painting on black canvases as this allows
for the vibrant and bold colours than I like, which you can see from my work.

My favourite subjects are nature scenes and Newfoundland out port scenes.  I see many inspirational possibilities for a new piece every day as we live in one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on earth for any artist.

I have been a member of the Art Associated of Newfoundland and Labrador for the past two years and have displayed my work through their shows held several times a year.  Through these shows I have received some favourable reviews of my pieces from a well known fine art appraiser Elizabeth Scammell Reynolds. These pieces are currently for sale in my collection shown on this site, namely " The Tree", " Rattling Brook" and " The Fallen Soldier".

In addition to selling my art as a member of the Art Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, my original works of art are also shown on this website and can be ordered via the ' place order' link above, or you can contact myself or my wife Rhonda at any time for ordering or other information.

Thank You
