Artist Statement

As a Canadian painter working largely in the historical genre, my art practice consists of three related objectives: artistic growth, environmental stewardship, and fidelity to my interests. Largely self-taught, I started painting with some friends in the basement of a student house in Toronto almost twenty years ago. My work was inconsistent and unfocussed, but I loved the immense challenge of giving voice to my inspiration within the physical constraints of paint and canvas. Artistic growth became an important part of my practice, and through perseverance I have continued to hone my craft. I take full responsibility for the environmental impact of my art by using recycled paints and repurposed frames, and by making art that lasts.
