Artist Profile 2010

Since 1999, I have been painting Canadian Maritime scenes en plein air around my home on Passamaquoddy Bay.  My style is primarily influenced by the noted Canadian painter, Chinkok Tan. Each summer, he leads a group of artists who are inspired by the landscape here. Chin teaches painting with 3 primary colours, one brush and the paper. I love that simplicity.  It gives you the freedom to enjoy and explore the colours. In this collaborative setting, we learn from him and from each other.  I feel some of my best works are produced during these sessions. My work has been collected by people from across North America, Europe and Australia, and is currently available in Europa Restaurant Saint Andrews, Rossmount Inn Chamcook and in my home.  I am also one of eleven painters  pariticipating in the Maritime Inspirations: En Plein Air Exhibit at the Saint John Arts Center.
