About the Artist

Stanley Cup in the Lightning's possession

In front of the shack, (studio)

I was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, but I didn't live there for long. My family moved to Edmonton, Alberta for eight years, and then down to Bonita Springs, Florida in 1975. I have lived in Florida since then, except for a little stint in New Zealand with my wife.

I live with my wife Trudy, my son, Luc, and daughter, Madelyn.

We live in a crappy, old, historic house which is about to be torn down, or moved, to make way for a new road. Odds are that we will build a new house here in Bonita, although we are starting to think about a more drastic move to the Canadian Maritimes or the Pacific Northwest. We'll see.

I have been an artist since I was a kid. I guess that all kids are artists though. I have been a professional artist for about 15 years. I love my job, and  the lifestyle that comes with it. I spend all the time that I want with my wife and kids. I work whenever I want to. It is truly amazing.

I work in a crappy, old, wooden shack behind our crappy, old, wooden house. Everyone that visits  thinks that it is cool and rustic and artsy. It would be o.k. if it wasn't 105 degrees, teeming with mosquitoes, leaking in new spots every rainy day, and being held together only by the teeth and will-power of the termites. Did I mention that it is  too small? Whatever. It will do until I build a new studio with the new house. I am extremely excited about that.

I love working in clay.

I love to unleash imagination.

If you are ever interested in seeing the crappy, old, studio, and are in SW Florida area, I'd love to give you the three minute tour, drink the bottle of quality Cabernet that you bring over with you, and show you all of the art that I have in the living room that I can't sell. Swing on by and say hello. Give me a call first so that I can make sure that I am dressed.
