| Artist Statement: | I work in acrylic on canvas, primarily in an impressionistic style. I build up the colour with layers of paint, which takes advantage of the fast drying qualities of acrylic. The majority of my landscape paintings are inspired by scenes in the Kawartha lake district in Northern Ontario, while the garden works are from a variety of places. |
