Having graduated from the commercial art programme at Capilano College in 1984, I worked in the field for 10 years as an illustrator, graphic designer and art director. Unhappy with the increasing importance of computers in my work, I left commercial art in 1995 to become a full-time painter.

Folk dances and music are a big part of my life and are often the subject of my paintings. I'm an avid dancer of English country dance, Morris dance, English sword dance and Contra dance. Most of the people in my art are my friends; I couldn't ask for better inspiration than just watching them do what they love.
