I grew up in the country just East of Ottawa with parents that would take my siblings and I, camping every summer, so nature was all around, all the time. Out in the woods, and on the water with only the birds and wildlife is where I find peace and balance, and where everything seems to make sense.

My Inspiration
I enjoy hiking, kayaking and camping in my spare time and many of my pieces are directly influenced by these adventures in the Canadian wilderness. Much of which is spent either close to home on the Ottawa River or in the beautiful highlands of Ontario and the rolling Gatineau hills of Quebec and surrounding areas.
Mycology Musings
I love foraging and studying mushrooms in Ontario and western Quebec. This section showcases the direct influence they have on my art.
* This mushroom painting was directly influenced by the cover of "The Encyclopedia of Mushrooms" by Dickinson & Lucas. More specifically the ethereal cover image by Reinhard & Coleman.
