Frequently asked questions
• Q: How long does it take for you to complete a portrait?

Artist’s Statement
Welcome to my pet portrait page. Queries are answered promptly. Just send me a few lines using the
comments box below.
As a small child my life was filled with animals, great draft horses towering above me, ponds teaming
with tadpoles, fields of rabbits and garter snakes…and dogs surveying the dinner table from their own
designated chair. Animals populated my world. They occupied my sketchbooks and dominated the
subject matter of my paintings. In so many ways that connection to creatures other than ourselves, has
steered much of my life’s work, both as an artist and as a dog trainer.
Observing and documenting the natural world led me to Chrysler’s Search for Canadian Wildlife Artists
contest many years ago, where I won First Place and Overall Best of Birds Division, then to a solo art
exhibition, Bronte, Ontario, and to a diploma in book and editorial illustration with Sheridan College.
After settling in Halton I spent over a decade illustrating children’s books, for trade and education
publishers in the Toronto area.
