At the beginning of my career I worked primarliy in watercolour. Having left it for many years I have taken it up again. It is a difficult medium with many challenges which I've been working to resolve this past summer. There is a strength of conviction in the past watercolour painters of this province that I admire. Often there is a sense of understatement and a search for the truth of what is percieved at the deepest level that draws me toward the challenge of this difficult medium.

I am an artist who has worked in the province since the mid 1980’s when I completed a Masters degree at the University of Saskatchewan. I have taught as a sessional for the department, and St.Peters College since that time.
