Painting took me by surprise. I was a mature student at NSCADU; I thought I was going to be a sculptor, but I haven’t looked back since picking up a brush. However, art has been a constant throughout my life: careers in film-making, television, and graphic design came first. Both the NS Dept. of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, and the Canada Council have awarded me grants. Several paintings are in the collection of the NS Art Bank.
