FOUND FRAMES

Sourced images, found online or from archival photographs gathered over my years of designing for print media.
My frames, like the images, are found hiding in corners of local thrift stores, garage sales and online marketplaces.

“You’re only given one little spark of madness.
You mustn’t lose it.”

Robin Williams

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.What is done in love is done well.”

Vincent Van Gogh

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist

– Picasso



about

•ARTIST•UPCYCLER•TINKER’R•


I cherish the times of day when light is everything.
When a single moment can transform the everyday, into that perfect moment in time.
To seek the infinite subtleties of low light and thestories hidden in the shadows.

I love faces that have history and joy, the eccentric, the difficult and the ordinary, celebrating both the human of us and the infinite fantasticality of nature.

Primarily working in gouache and watercolours, I consider myself a portrait artist struggling to break the boundaries of hyper-realism.

I started work within the newspaper industry in the early 70s as a designer and illustrator.
I now paint full time from my home in Campbell River, British Columbia

In 2019 I introduced Ol’son, my ARV (Arts Research Vehicle), a fully renovated 1985 Grumman Olson Step Van, converted into a mobile art studio, with which I hope one day to travel across Canada, painting my way from coast to coast.
