March 4, 2026 Today in my studio, I decided to do a medical experiment. After a quick prayer for courage, I accessed my brain in search of the artistic lobe, held up my iPhone and made a picture of it. You see the result above. This is a real life image of where artistry resides in the human… Read More »

November 29, 2025 No sooner did I get back from a short trip to The Netherlands, than I dropped off two of my paintings to a show called ‘The Red Show’ in the Windjammer Inn in Port Stanley, the beach community at Lake Erie I love so much. This show has been happening for 12 years now, it… Read More »
Oktober 2025 I thought you might be interested in this interview, that appeared in the local magazine ‘Hometown’ of the city of St. Thomas. It came too late for the Elgin County Studio Tour and then Canada Post went on strike, so many may have missed it. Thanks to journalist Peri Hayes for making the interview into a… Read More »
October 23, 2025 I can’t believe it has been a month since I posted last! After the busy times leading up to the Elgin County Studio Tour, I have taken a few moments to catch my breath.
