artist statement

Although I am best known as a seascape watercolour painter, my paintings are basically the results of things I see around me. The decision to come to this country 13 years ago has made the career as a painter possible for me. The tranquility of rural Nova Scotia life suits my personality. The love of this unspoiled spacious land has reflected on my paintings as well. I have painted watercolour for as long as I can remember but still find this medium full of excitements and challenges.
