Not For Sale
I visited Cornwall, UK, on many occasions, particularly to seek Man Engines used for the mining of copper and tin. This painting shows the ventilation shaft which provided air to the cage in which the miners were sent down to mine in the tunnels, place ore in metal carts to be taken to the surface for distribution to refineries. The miners were brought to the surface after a grueling day of back-breaking work.

Vancouver, British Columbia
In the tradition of the Impressionists, I mostly paint my watercolour paintings of landscapes en plein air. My paintings focus on light and shadow, filtering through the trees in the landscapes on the West Coast of British Columbia, Oregon, San Miguel de Allende and Vancouver Island.
"I constantly connect with nature to determine the best way to communicate. I like to paint waterfalls where I hope the viewer can "hear" the sounds of water splashing in the pools"
