In the early 1990’s, I recognized that it was time to expand my style and subject mater and develop new techniques. I felt the need to paint one large canvas that captured the subjects and style for which I had become known until then. Where the Heart Is was the result. It was reproduced so that my work could be more easily accessible to more people. (still available)

Fourth Chute Cascade (12" X 36") (still available)

I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful regions of Canada, the Ottawa Valley, which was opened to settlers in the mid-1800's. The Bonnechere River was one of several used a a means of transporting timber from the forested interior to markets and distant ports. Wooden chutes had to be constructed as a conduit for the logs to pass the many rapids along these rivers. I make my home at what was once the site of the fourth such chute between the Bonnechere's source in northern Algonquin Park and the Ottawa River.

Since 1986, I have spent most winters in rural Ontario. Life in a country setting has given me many opportunities to appreciate the subtlety of the progression from season to season. Winter Friends (18" X 14") (sold) depicts the various species of birds that visited the bird feeders outside my studio window.

Kawartha Winter Dusk (10" X 8") (still available) represents my development as a painter in the depiction of snow, an exercise in observing colour and shadow in nature, and my love of Ontario's Lake Regions. This painting, and many others, was inspired by Wollaston Lake (near Coe Hill) with its many small islands.

Urban Intimate (30" X 24") (sold) Most of my landscapes are of rural subjects, probably because having been born on a farm, images of country life were what I saw and grew to value emotionally. I have, however, also lived in cities, and so cityscapes are also subjects of some of my romantic images.
