Born 1951 in Vernon, B.C.

I attended Vancouver School of Art (Emily Carr University of Art & Design) on scholarships from 1969 until graduating with an advanced diploma in painting in 1973.

I have studied and participated in Life Drawing groups at the Sunshine Coast Art Centre, Sechelt; Kelowna Arts Centre; Arts Student League, New York City, and the Toronto School of Art.

I have had six one-man shows in public and private galleries in B.C. and my work has been included in many juried and group shows in the Okanagan Valley, Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, Toronto, and Vancouver Island. I have dedicated my life to developing my drawing and painting. Since 2008, my wife and I have resided in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.
