From the bustling streets of downtown Vancouver to the tranquil landscapes of Japan, I have spent a lifetime honing my craft as a visual artist. With over four decades of experience, I specialize in acrylic paint, ink, charcoal, and multi-media, producing everything from small to larger works on canvas, paper, and other materials.

My portfolio extends well beyond traditional mediums, as I am also a renowned land artist, and an accomplished silversmith. My jewelry designs, including rings, pendants and intricately wire-wrapped semi-precious stones, are enjoyed by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

My works have been featured in private and group exhibitions in Vancouver and Japan, and I have been commissioned by high-end clients to produce pieces for display in private residences, commercial property, hair salons, cafes, and restaurants. Notably, my public land art displays on the beaches of downtown Vancouver attracted crowds of visitors and garnered widespread praise.

I have recently relocated my studio to Richmond, where I continue to push the boundaries of my craft, using my technical expertise to create stunning pieces that leave a lasting impression.
