About Me

My photo
Angus, Ontario, Canada
I am a Canadian artist, who has been known to paint realistic wildlife and abstract paintings. Most of my paintings and ideas are inspired by nature. I spend most of my time in the northern wilds of Canada. When looking at trees I tend to see people in their shapes. On an average day I will sit and imagine how an old tree might be thinking in the way it has shaped itself over time. Some of my paintings are a result of these imaginings.
