My formal training was through the Certified Management Accountants.  I held various positions in the financial field including management.   

My first love was always art.  I pursued my interest in art since my teenage years.  Every opportunity was taken to draw.  After many private lessons and workshops, I started showing my paintings publicly.  I become an Active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA). Through the FCA I have studied with several professional artists including Robert Genn, Rick McDermid, Suzanne Northcott, Steven Quiller, Donna Baspale and David Langevin.   

I have been involved in two co-op galleries, operated Front Street Gallery in a partnership and hung in FCA juried shows in several galleries.  I have paintings in private collections in England, USA and Canada.  I am currently in Matheson Fine Art Gallery.
