I'm an artist and web developer living in BC, Canada (on the traditional land of the shishalh people). I love art, cats, chocolate, European pastries, painting and gardening, and I'm passionate about preserving the biodiversity of life on Earth.

Day 10 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar.
The first piece I ever had accepted at a juried show, at a local gallery in my small town, quite a few years ago. It's called "The First Inkling of an Idea". Something like 14 x 18 inches. Oil on canvas.

Day 8 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar.
One of my all-time favourite creations. It's one of the few times I managed to move away from intense colours. And it's the second-largest painting I've ever made.
It's called "Lifting the Weight Off". Oil on Canvas. 36 x 24 inches, I think.

This is "Mesa Fortress". 24 x 24 inches. Oil on canvas.
It's the first larger painting I ever sold. I was hanging a show with 2 friends in a local business and it was still on the floor. A customer walked in and asked if it was for sale. I was thrilled!

A small painting from a series I did for art school years back. It shows a pier in Trail Bay, Sechelt, the town near where I live. A friend who is also a painter purchased this one.

An older work called "In the Pacific". I still have it. It's 24 x 24 inches, oil paint on canvas.
Back when I had it hanging in the dining room, I was so pleased when my young nephew guessed that this abstracted work was a painting about the ocean.

Oil on canvas. 14 x 18 inches. I called this "Georgia Strait at Dusk".
Georgia Strait is between Vancouver Island and the mainland here in BC. A short walk from my home, and down a tall set of stairs, takes me to a rocky beach that looks over the strait.

"The Bay in Sunshine"
A little 3 x 4 inch painting on a deep cradled wood panel. I tend to get quite tight and controlled when I paint, so I was pleased at how loose this one turned out. Painting more loosely is an ongoing goal for me.

Lucky me! Today a friend took me to the home of a recently passed local artist whose daughter was selling off his huge oeuvre of works at VERY low prices. 3+ hours later I left with more art than a woman has a right to. :-) Here's my stash.
