About
I began my creative career in publishing after graduation from the Illustration program at Sheridan College in 1990. I worked my way up to Art Director, and then Creative Director before deciding to go freelance in 2002. I’ve been an independent contractor ever since, working for a variety of clients across Canada, the US, and the UK. The work has included a mix of graphic design and illustration projects including; web design and development, corporate communications, brand and identity design, marketing, and information graphics/illustration. I have recently focussed on industrial 3D visualization and animation.
Throughout the years, I’ve been a painter as well, but it’s only fairly recently that I’ve begun to focus on oil painting specifically, in both the studio and en plein air. As painting alone in the wilds of Alberta can be somewhat hazardous, I’ve slowly been trying to form a local community of artists to join me in my “outdoor painting adventures”. I created PleanAirAlberta.com as a focal point for this activity as well as a way to promote Alberta’s arts community, and to raise awareness and support for the protection of the province’s natural wilderness areas.
