About Me

Nature varies itself relentlessly. It is my contact with this constantly changing environment that inspires my creations. By observing its shifting seasons, days, hours, or moods, I interpret the same area differently every time I return to it.

Thanks for your following! When I saw that photo of you painting in your boat, I just had to laugh. I wish I had photos of the canoes and boats I have had similar wonderful painting experiences in. Looking forward to seeing more! Sharon

I like your work. It is unique and has a nice painterly quality that I admire.

Very bold strong renderings of the Eastern Townships and their beauty. The fact that you paint en plein air contributes, I think, to the quick impressionistic takes on the nature around you. You make the sun shine through those clouds beautifully. - Allan
