My work is rooted in the belief that there is an important place for three-dimensional, tactile sculpture among the graphic art on every collector’s walls or shelf.

 

I began sculpting in 2000 and have studied with many of Edmonton area’s finest artists.  My pottery journey began in  2021 and I delight in the interplay between the two ceramic arts.

​

In the summers, I can be found at Highland Games and Gatherings across Alberta. All year around, my work is available at the Night of Artists Gallery in Edmonton Alberta, at  Black Star Studios in Invermere BC,  and in private collections in the US, UK, Netherlands, Japan and across Canada. My portrait of Stephen Hawking hangs in the recreation of his office in the Science Museum of London England, and Nelson Mandela found a home in the Alchemist Gallery in Dingwall Scotland.

​

I am Past President of the Sculptors' Association of Alberta, and a member of Harcourt House Artist Run Centre. 

 

Born and raised in Montreal, I have spent most of my adult life on the prairies and currently live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
