Today I paint with acrylics and mixed media with acrylics.
I hope that my abstract designs offer multiple interpretations to the viewer. Making abstract creations gives me the freedom to think and act differently and to probe the meaning more deeply. This can only be done by my pushing the limits a little bit, discovering new techniques and materials.
The illuminating techniques and colours I choose today (especially my glossy sweeping lines) are intended to illustrate thought provoking drama with shining dancing play on light.
I hear that these effects offer some excitement and sometimes a feeling of wonder that provokes imagination like music to the mind and spirit.

I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. My development and style of expression has evolved through lifelong exposure to art, travel and especially in associating with artists.
Though you may agree that I am really a self taught artist, I have some credentials to offer as I am formally arts educated in my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from the University of Toronto (U of T).
I earned "Visual Arts Specialist" advanced qualifications in classroom teaching and a Bachelor of Arts (B A Hon, U of T) degree which offered studies in English literature, as well as cinema and art history. A Master of Education post graduate degree (M Ed, U of T, OISE 1986) allowed me to acquire some considerable expertise in developing arts curricula.
