I am a Toronto based painter working on large scale figures in fragmentary or dream like worlds. I have been painting for over 30 years and teaching for a decade. I work with a combination of acrylic, oil and collage methods and I have a deep interest in history, art history and the natural world. I have and continue to exhibit my work in Europe, the US and Canada.
