I took my formal training at Langara College Fine Arts Program but I have been an artist all of my life. My early works were painting in acrylic and pen & ink drawing, Later I spent a few years creating designs and sandblasting them into glass for customers of my own glass art business.
I have now settled on the North Shore but travelling and exploring is in my blood. Much of my work is local but I also like to create art based on my travels. I work out of my home studio which backs on to the Lynn Canyon Park in Lynn Valley.
