I am an accountant by profession.  I have held a number of positions in Accounting and Human Resources.  I am currently Manager of Pension and Benefits Planning for a large automobile manufacturer.

I started studying painting and drawing in the mid 1990’s, taking classes at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Toronto School of Art, and the Ontario College of Art and Design, studying with Toronto artists Barry Coombs, Susan Low-Beer, Anda Kubis, and Celia Neubauer.
