About the Artist

SUMMARY

Over thirty years of experience in oil and water colour painting, sculpting and mould making. A good understanding of muti-media constraints and opportunities has been developed through extensive teaching with art organizations and art councils. 

 

Communications skills have been developed that have been linked with results by serving as an elected Civic Alderman, President and executive member of art councils, and participation on committees and Boards of Directors. 

 

This has provided an in-depth exposure to a broad range of disciplines and responsibilities in the visual arts.  

 

These achievements have been recognized with the presentation of the Lescarbot Award by the Federal Government for enhancing the cultural life of Canada.
