I live in an old log cabin overlooking the forested hills north of Bancroft. Since graduating from the University of Toronto in 1996, I have been painting with watercolours, mixed media and printmaking. Living off-the-grid and surrounded by wilderness for many years, my work is informed by this immersion in nature. Patterned and stylized interpretations of scenery, plants, animals and local activities are often explored themes. 
 
Along with my painting practice, I enjoy working on community-engaged art projects, creating public art and drawing. In 2016 Doubleday published The Canadian Backwoods Colouring Book featuring forty of my pictures of beautiful North Hastings. In 2019 I was featured in the CBC series Off the Grid that aired on the arts show The Exhibitionists. Every September I welcome visitors to my workspace during the Bancroft and Area Studio Tour.
