I've worked as an artist for the past ten years, primarily in the UK but more recently in Spain. I was born in Canada and grew up in a fishing community. Until a few years ago most of my paintings were centered on a fun-loving redhead called Pearl alongside a cast of other personalities, often inspired by real people. The painted characters remarkably became collectible, which kept me busy and brought a lot of joy to the job. Paintings of Pearl and her cohorts are mostly gone, but prints are still finding their way into homes around the world. Recently my approach has shifted to exploring new techniques. I continue to borrow simple ideas from everyday experiences and, while the process is complex and challenging, I have neither desire nor capacity to articulate deep meanings about the purpose of my work. Truth be told, I simply like creating them and feel a bit lost when I don't. Most days you can find me in a tiny studio distracted by sea views and a waggish sausage dog named Otto.
