I am a self-taught artist, craftsman and designer.  I have no conferred status attached to my name designating my limitations which is probably why my art is of an eclectic nature.  Over the past 40 years I have done one-off commissions and speculative exhibition pieces.  Studio furniture, fine boxes, mixed media art, sculptural constructions, architectural models, graphics, painting, photography, digital art and poetry make up the majority of my efforts to date.

I have refined my work pursuant to a philosophy of simple yet elegant design. I believe in maintaining the inherent beauty in the materials and use natural finishes and sometimes translucent colors, which serve to enhance those qualities that delight the eye.

In some pieces, I exploit chairs and boxes as a canvas for humor and wit instead of affirming the domestic duties these functional objects would normally be associated with.

My passion for color and love of geometry is a paramount feature in new work I will be presenting, some of which has a surrealistic angst to it and of course the humor.

As one who spends his days in an ongoing quest for creative expression in whatever medium that interests me, I find solace in a simple mantra I’ve written that offers balance and peace in my daily life and work.

The skilful hand,
the creative mind,
art and craft,
as one entwined. 

My work has been shown in Canada, the United States and the Republic of Korea.
