I am a Canadian stone carver and painter living in Norfolk County, Ontario. I carve soapstone and other soft stones using traditional stone and wood carving tools. I sketch and paint on location and in studio using pen and ink on paper, and acrylics or oils on canvas or board. My inspiration comes from the nature that is all around me, in the Long Point World Biosphere Region, from my home studio located on the Long Point Causeway on the north shore of Lake Erie, Ontario.
Long Point Art Studio is located just outside of the village of Port Rowan, on Highway 59, which becomes the Long Point Causeway. At present my studio is not open to the public. If you wish to see current artwork please send me a message through my contact page. It's worth planning a day trip to this area, whether your interests are art, wine, antiques, a sandy beach, or birding.
Artist Residency at Birds Canada
I'm honoured to have been chosen as Artist-in-Residence at Birds Canada for 2025-26! I'm developing a body of artwork for a solo exhibition at Birds Canada Headquarters in January 2027. In the meantime, you might see me sketching or painting around Long Point and Port Rowan, especially at Birds Canada properties like the lovely Long Point Bird Observatory, or the lookouts and trails at the Birds Canada Headquarters in Port Rowan, Ontario. As my community engagement part of the residency for 2026, I will be presenting a bird drawing session for the Young Ornithologists programme through Birds Canada.
