Since first thought, all I ever wanted to do was to draw. “When I grow up” I want to be a cartoonist.

Cartooning is my first and greatest art love. To express emotions and make a scene come alive with the simplest squiggly line is a very understated artistic talent. Drawing a great satirical cartoon with as least amount of detail, to me is more brilliant than any oil canvas I’ve painted. I love doing abstract expressionist pieces and sensual seductive figurative pieces. City scape post impressionist pieces from places I’ve travelled and my hometown Ottawa, Canada.
Where do you find inspiration?My mind mostly. At any moment looking at something as serene as a beautiful sunset or as basic as a piece of litter on the sidewalk, both can evoke and trigger ideas and inspiration to create. A lot get stored in the filling cabinet of pieces to come in my minds eye.
What would you do with $25,000?Many things great and generous. One things for certain, I would be spending sometime sketching in Montmarte
