Discovering My Artistic Side: A Self-Taught Artist’s Journey

I was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and have spent over thirty-five years in the restaurant and hospitality industries as an owner, general manager, and project manager. It was when I retired and moved to London, Ontario, that I was able to explore my artistic side.

As an artist, it’s important to constantly explore different elements of art to continue growing and evolving my work. As a contemporary fine art artist, this often means experimenting with new styles, processes, and materials to create unique and thought-provoking pieces.

          “IT’S NOT A STYLE THAT DETERMINES HIS VISION… IT’S A STYLE THAT CREATES HIS VISION.”

While my inspiration can come from various sources, it’s clear that the beauty in the world around us is a significant driving force. Which constantly challenges me with new ideas, whether it’s the people in my life, my experiences, or the world around us.

Ultimately, what I hope makes my art special is how it can connect with people personally by sparking thoughts, emotions, and memories. As for the stories behind my paintings, they are not what is essential. What is important are the stories the viewer sees and creates while viewing my work. It’s all about building a relationship between the viewer and my paintings.
