About

I am primarily a representational transparent watercolor painter striving to depict the emotional connection I have to this fantastic Pacific Northwest landscape and environment. My paintings are basically a visual diary of my life and my daily experiences.

As a young artist I was influenced by the work of Winslow Homer, Ken Danby and Andrew Wyeth so I gravitated toward watercolor as my primary medium where the intense translucent quality of the medium best depicts my environment.

I was born and raised in Maple Ridge, on the north bank of the Fraser River in British Columbia. I have drawn and painted ever since I can remember and after graduating from Douglas College in 1980 I followed my wife to Colorado and after several years landed in this cool green little city of Bellingham, Washington.

I am a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and an Associate with the National Watercolor Society and exhibit with both groups regularly. My current Gallery representation is the Blue Horse in Bellingham and Gallery by the Bay in Stanwood, Washington.
