There is an old mill in rural Ontario, by the small village of Aberfoyle. Build in 1859 by a Scottish immigrant to Canada, situated by a large pond, and named after the town. The building originally functioned as a grist mill. It was converted to a restaurant and has been a favorite place to dine for many years. The drawing was done from a photograph that I took of the mill, adopting some characteristics from an earlier drawing that I did on the spot. The pen and ink drawing was done using various sizes of Micron archival ink pens, and is on cold press, 140 lb. watercolor paper. It is done in a modern style which builds on the traditions of pen and ink drawings from the great illustrators of the past. It never goes out of style. Enjoy the drawing and imagine being in the peaceful environment of an old country mill and an old mill pond.

Boats, seascapes, people and the homes and buildings that have special meaning for them -- these are the foundations of my work as an artist. My travels to Guernsey, Channel Islands, the home of my family and where I spent many formative years, and my travels throughout Canada, where I now live and find inspiration, provide the images and impressions that are the subjects of my latest works. I have a fascination with line, its inward and outward curves, how it separates human from natural space, how it can transmute the physical and visual history of a building or landscape into their present day forms. My passion for history and the dimensions of line have inspired me to create a series of pen and ink drawings based on the history of Guernsey. In addition to my Guernsey series, I am often commissioned by my clients to create pen and ink drawings of their homes, their families or a favorite car or boat. In each drawing, my challenge is to depict the unique personalities of the subjects. For my paintings, I favor acrylic on stretched canvas. Acrylic allows me to lay washes of color to reflect depth and atmosphere and it allows me to represent the vagaries of light, its conflict with shadow, and how colors are transformed by both. I now live and work in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Having studied with such established artists as Nan Hogg, Kathleen Schmalz, and Janette Hayhoe, I work out of a studio in Guelph as well as on location.
