Fascinated by colour and texture and the shadows in between, I try to create surprise and delight with colour and composition.

Science and Architecture at UBC, Math at U Ottawa. Drawing at U Sask. Remote art classes by mail through BC
Dept of Education in high school with notable mentors. Life drawing classes. Design training in clothing & textiles and
architecture at UBC. Registered Architect 1983, now retired.
I am a "Maker", love to work with my hands sewing and shaping, and then drawing in multi media, graphite, chalks, crayons, and watercolour.
Inspired by my friend Ernie Linder professor emeritus at the Emma Lake Art Camp, linked to U Sask school of art. And other artists including Sam Black.
