Welcome!

Living on Vancouver Island there is inspiration all around me, and why my passion is painting anything with fur or feathers . Most of my paintings use watercolours, with a dry brush technique.  I have dabbled with acrylics but they are not for me.  Watercolour allows me to get the detail I like they dry almost instantly and last for ages with the amount of paint I use.   I use pencil, and pen and ink when I feel the need for a change.  Please take a look around my website and feel free to email me any questions.

Enjoy your visit!

Youth Art Classes - new class starting March- April  2012

These classes will be working towards producing artwork for the

Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest

As the local Ambassador for the

Get to Know Program I encourage local Youth 19 and under to explore their natural surroundings, learn about local wildlife,

then paint it, write about it or photograph it!

For more details see the link below, then call me for more information on classes.

Parents, get your children involved. Teachers, find out how to get students involved too.
