“For as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed being outdoors
in the wilderness.  As a boy, I dearly loved to spend Saturdays and
school holidays roaming the beautiful rugged countryside around
the dairy farm near Kelowna, where I was raised.

As I matured I began sketching and painting what I saw in the great
outdoors.  The more I painted, the more I came to realize that God
had given me a talent.  I made up my mind to use this talent to
glorify Him and the magnificent wilderness that He created. 
As time went on my pleasurable hobby of sketching and
painting became a very meaningful daily activity.

Today, wildlife has become the prime subject in most of my
paintings.  When painting animals, I strive for depth creating
distance so one can see past the animals.  Yet I try to capture
the expression of the animals’ eyes.

At other times, I paint very softly, blending the animals
or birds into the background; the observer must then search
to find them.  My personal style is determined by the subject
and the different mood of each individual painting.

As I continue painting and spending more time in the awesome
outdoors, I have come to realize more and more, that I love,
and always will love, painting pictures of the spectacular wilderness.
