Art Education:
  
     I am basically a self-taught artist,
   although I have some formal art 
   education from the University of 
   British Columbia, where I took 
   courses in the fundamentals of 
   drawing, painting and design. 

   I have also taken art classes 
   through MUN Extension in 
   St. John's & Corner Brook.  
   Also, I have taught art at 
   the high school level, which 
   more than anything, has given
   me a sound grounding in the 
   basics of art.



 
Art Exhibitions:

From 1985-1992 I have shown 
  in the Arts and Letters Competition; 
  winning numerous awards - including 
  a first place finish for drawing.

The Jim Baird "NO FISH" group 
  exhibition in Toronto, 1993.

I am a member of RCA and I have 
  shown in their Group Showcase, June 
  1997.

Member of VANL and took part 
  in many Mini Art Shows, 1996 - 99.

Only claim to "fame" was with 
  the RCA Fake Auction Show in 1996: my

Work can be found in many public 
  and private collections.




 

 
Artist's Statement:
 
 "I like the art of van Gogh
 Munch and Bacon; art that has 
 a strong emotional component 
 in them. I like art that 
 reveals the emotions of an 
 artist at a particular place 
 and time in the life of that 
 artist. The art that interests 
 me the most - takes its strength 
 from emotion rather than any 
 other visual element."
