I am originally from Rossland, B.C. and graduated from high school before leaving for Vancouver to attend 4 years at the Vancouver School of Art (Emily Carr)

I became a sketch artist for a number of neon sign companies in Vancouver, Toronto and Edmonton before returning to Vancouver, where I worked for a large development company as a store planner and shopping center interior designer , and eventually into my own firm as an interior and architectural designer as well as marine interiors for cruise ships and ferries. A varied career. I am now enjoying retired life and painting as a hobby.
