| Artistic Influences: | I would describe my style as impressionistic. I am influenced not only by French and American impressionist landscapes, but also by Canada's Group of Seven. I also greatly admire Andrew Wyeth's landscapes and portraits. I paint many portraits on commission and, as such, I go back to John Singer Sargent's amazing work again and again for inspiration. |
