I was born in Hamilton, Ontario into a family of entrepreneurs. My parents ran various businesses, but my father was also an amateur artist who gave me my first lessons in drawing. I went to art school in England, and after returning to Canada, taught at Sheridan College for over 20 years.

​

I enjoy making things. This includes paintings, sculptures, fixing cars, home building projects, and in general, working with my hands.

​

For me, painting is an exploration of what lies behind the surface of things. I am fascinated with light, shadow, stillness, and the geometry of perspective.

​

I divide my time between Hamilton and a small village in Mexico, where I share an art studio with my wife and fellow artist, Cora Brittan. Explore more of our work and collaborations here.
