Artist Statement

"I get the ideas for my paintings from the inspirational views and subject material I find when I visit the rural communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. Seashore scenes, wildlife, mountains, icebergs, and small fishing communities of Newfoundland and Labrador can provide an artist with a limitless supply of inspirational material. Most of my paintings are of areas along the Northern peninsula of the island because of the beautiful scenery and my frequent visits to the area. I try to reflect in those paintings Newfoundlands unique character. A lot of my paintings contain children, but my main purpose is not to have them as the central theme in my paintings. It is the unique places that they live and play in that truly reflects the character of Newfoundland and Labrador.
