Artist's Vision

I love the Creator and his creation… I love the outdoors, especially when it comes to hiking and camping and the many opportunities we have to explore nature here in Northern Ontario! My favorite place to be is near the Georgian bay coastline! I like to re-create the places I have had the privilege to enjoy and bring them to all of you!

My goal is to inspire you to go out and enjoy nature yourself or to bring back a memory of when you visited that place; but if you can’t visit, let my artistic expression bring you there! We too often live our busy lives plugged into a virtual reality rather than experiencing the beauty of the outdoors first hand. I hope I can inspire you to take the time to get out and just take it all in! Go out and just close your eyes for a minute, take a deep breath of fresh air, and feel the earth beneath your feet! Even take your shoes off and ground for several minutes allowing your body, spirit and soul to unite with God’s great creation…you will thank me for it! Find a WiFi free zone, away from all the static, it’s truly amazing in my opinion!

God Bless you!

Autumn Serenity in Killarney

An original oil painting on a cradled birch panel. Size: 30×40, I knew the moment I saw these birch trees in the park near George Lake that they would be the subject of a painting someday! There is no place like Killarney Provincial park in the fall for me! Autumn walks are so serene to the soul and mind.

Blue Lake and Rocky Shores at Killarney Provincial Park

Original oil painting is for sale in my store! 48×36, deep gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang!As we paddled our canoe around the edge of George Lake in Killarney Provincial Park I felt a sense of tremendous gratitude for the beauty my eyes beheld. A huge rock stood proud, strong and unchanging along the shoreline, bathed in the warm brilliance of the afternoon sun, which also illuminated the trees that stood around. As we admired this scene it occurred to me that some things never change, in fact that rock had been there for ages, season after season had come and gone, and it was somewhat comforting to know that in our ever changing chaotic world some things never change! As we gently rocked in our canoe there was a storm brewing off Georgian Bay headed our way, but it was a sweet capture before the change, the calm before the storm!

The Multiplicity Of One

This is an original oil painting of a silver birch forest located at Fielding Memorial Park, it’s painted on deep gallery wrapped canvas. size: 24×48. It is such a wonderful feeling when I walk through a silver birch forest. I love these trees, they offer such a diversity to the woods. I grew up near this location at Fielding Memorial Park and I believe that is why this scene brings such a great feeling of emotion to me. As a child I would wander through such a forest but surprisingly I never got lost. It wasn’t until I moved away that I realized how rare these stands of birch trees are especially towards the southern and eastern areas of Ontario, Canada. Our area of Greater Sudbury in Northern Ontario, to be specific, in the area of Walden or west of Sudbury, these types of forests are often seen. It may be because of the mining industry in nearby Coppercliff that created the perfect acidic soil for these type of trees to flourish, perhaps, in this case, this could be called a happy accident, nonetheless it’s breathtaking! The name on this painting speaks to the nature of these trees and how they grow by a complex inter-connected root system, I was thinking how similar it is to our own human-kind of interconnected communities. A thought to ponder!

A Golden Day On Tranquility Bay

THE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING IS PAINTED ON A DEEP GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS. SIZE: 30X48, The Haliburton Highlands are gorgeous in the fall with all the hardwood trees surrounding the area, it’s no wonder! It’s an attraction for many just to take a drive in this area during the autumn time. It is near Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. Robert Bateman used to visit the area and many of his artworks are representing Haliburton landscapes. I couldn’t help but try and capture the serene landscape one day as we traveled highway 118 from Bancroft where we used to live. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
