My wife and I have a summer house on Mount Desert Island. I began creating images of Mount Desert Island to remind me of the beauty of the island. I work with watercolor pencils which allow me to draw with delicate detail. I draw on black paper so that I can focus on the subtle use of light to create images that take on a slightly mysterious quality.

I was born and raised in Alberta Canada. I got through the long winters concentrating on drawing and hockey of course. My passion for drawing was developed further while attending the Alberta College of Art. After art college I started a career  in graphic design in educational television where I worked on promotional collateral, teacher support material, animation, motion graphics, illustration, and set design. This was the catalyst for a career in advertising design communication. I moved to New York city to further that career. My drawing abilities earned me a teaching  position at  the School of Visual Art in Manhattan.

I live in the West Village in Manhattan with my wife and our 2 Welsh Corgis.
