Capturing the spirit is everything! Everything is Spirit around us. As an oil painter, it is always the spirit that I explore to find its strength and see the transformation of the soul. It is my inspiration.

Meaning Golden Eagle. The Eagle teaches us that true power comes from vision and not with force. The Eagle flies and the Creator listens.
It is my belief that when the Eagle flies high a message is coming. The Eagle teaches us that truth comes from distance. In order to understand you must rise since sometimes, what you’re searching for can only be seen from above.
I began oil painting in the late 1980's. Painting on canvas boards in my backyard, I began with landscapes and waterscapes.
I am connected to my First Nation roots and listening to the Creator. As the ancestors speak though each painting my work has evolved over the years. Find the subtleties of faces and animals that show up unintentionally in every painting.
Check out my "Gallery" to see a few samples. My work is all original oil paintings with acrylics peppered in. I've painted from peoples dream descriptions, to specific project requests, to what the canvas wishes to become when I paint for myself.
Sizes vary from 4”x6” up to 12’x15’.
Miigwech for visiting, I look forward to seeing you on the inside :)
I want to extend and express my gratitude to my community, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation. To organizations and individuals who have supported and continue to support my work. Also, to the platforms nationally and internationally who provides a space to showcase my art. And finally, to my friends and family who continue to be my cheerleaders. Mìgwech
