New Horizons was inspired by a trip to Swaledale in Yorkshire England near Marske by Richmond, my ancestral home. That scene, so unbelievably peaceful, was watched over by a lone sheep standing against the evening sun on the horizon.

While visiting various stately homes around Toronto, or attending ballet in a turreted old Victorian, I would be suddenly captured by a dark, moody landscape and be lulled into a quiet respite by the serene, atmospheric, ethereal glow. My goal is for my paintings to evoke that same feeling.
"Painting in the tonalist style, I create atmospheric, moody landscapes which convey a feeling for the passage of time and evoke in the observer a sense of quietude and pensiveness. I hope to impart some lulling solace amidst the discordant clamour of this world."
