A labour of love
Thank you for visiting my online gallery. I hope you enjoy viewing my lastest works as much as I enjoy creating them in my studio. I am a self taught artist from Ontario, Canada. I particularly work with acrylics on canvas, and have branched out to a variety of mixed media approaches and creative gift ideas. I have never had any formal training and paint more from my heart than anything. I have been very successful with my commissioned work and have had some pieces in mixed artist gallery showings.
I have loved painting from a very young age. It heals my soul. I paint what inspires me, and that is mostly portraits. I fall in love or become emotionally touched by people's lives and after that I have the need to capture them in a portrait. I have created many paintings for people who have lost loved ones and always try to connect with the person on some level, trying to express a feeling in my paintings.
I am always trying to improve my portraits specifically trying to capture the true soul or essence of the subject. Please enjoy looking through my site and I hope something you see inspires you.
