Born in Toronto I Graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design and then went to do an MFA at The New York Academy of Art. Currently I am working upstate NY and occasionally in Europe. I make all different kinds of work depending on my thoughts at the time, but I am very inspired by traditional painting in this contemporary world. A particular interest is in what was once known as history painting. I'm interested in big ideas. Often work comes to me in an instant and then I try to realize it in paint by working on the composition, color and other technical problems. I work from life, photo and imagination.
