About the Artist:
Born and raised in a little town outside of Moncton, N.B, I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember, beginning with drawing from images in an old set of red encyclopedias that we had in the house. While I was growing up, our family spent weekends and vacations camping along the beaches and rivers throughout the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec and Ontario. Dad, who was avid fly fisherman and Mom, who was born and raised on a farm in Quebec, loved to take walks and explore, so we were always out walking the beaches, rivers or forests picking berries, fishing, digging clams, camping...it was just part of our lives and the usual way we spent our time together. These memories continue to influence my work along with the process of gathering reference material, sketching or painting on location and creating the paintings in my studio.
