Being a self-taught artist, I have derived much of my inspiration from the "GROUP OF SEVEN", the French Impressionists and the Writings of Baha'u'lla'h (Baha'i Faith). My family and I moved to Vancouver Island from Alberta in 1987, where I first began to paint approx. 20 years ago. Prior to that, I focused mostly on drawing and sketching. I began showing my work in 1988 and have been represented by numerous galleries on the Island. From 1993-2000, I am a full-time painter and have had many successes over the years , including numerous commissions for a television production company, commission work for architects, several corporate and private sales both in Canada and the United States. Aside from my website, my work can be seen at:

KURBATOFF GALLERY, VANCOUVER , BC,
SOUTHSHORE GALLERY, SOOKE, B.C. ,
WILLOW GALLERY, TORONTO, ONTARIO,
MAIN STREET GALLERY SIDNEY, BC
