Below are samples of some of my favourite watercolour paintings created over the past 33 years.

As you will see, my subject matter changes from landscapes to florals - and sometimes even includes found objects from around my home.

After spending over 40 years in Sault Ste. Marie, we recently relocated to Bolton, Ontario in May of 2007. Since we arrived here, my work has been featured at the juried Hills of the Headwaters Exhibition in September and also at the Alton Gallery in Alton.

Currently, you can view my work in the Skylark Gallery in Bolton, at 256 Queen Street South - at Ellwood Drive West.
