From an early age my interests have been split between science and art. While attending the Ontario College of Art, I discovered the Biomedical Communications Program at the University of Toronto, a unique interdisciplinary program that explores the use of images to communicate complex science and health topics to a range of audiences. This proved to be the perfect path for me, allowing me the opportunity to pursue both of my interests.
During my career as a Medical Illustrator, I collaborated with a number of publishers and advertising agencies in Canada and the United States. I have been fortunate to have my medical illustrations grace the covers and pages of publications around the world.
In 1996 my partner, Andrew MacWha and I co-founded TriFocal Communications, a pharmaceutical advertising agency. Using my medical art, we focused on creating patient and physician education tools. TriFocal was highly respected for the development of education and marketing campaigns for the healthcare industry. Throughout these years I developed an extensive collection of original medical art, which I now make available by either contacting me directly or through Stocktrek Images: www.stocktrekimages.com/
Throughout my career, I have always enjoyed painting and drawing organic forms, such as plants and animals. Today, I am focused on painting portraits of people and/or people and their pets. My years of working as a Medical Illustrator, have given me a deep understanding of anatomy. This is evident in the structural accuracy of my paintings of people and animals.
To me painting pet portraits are equally as important as painting people. My dogs have always been a very important part of our family and I know that many people love and appreciate these furry family members as much as I do. Painting them gives me the opportunity to capture their essence on canvas to be cherished and remembered for years to come.
I am available for commissioned paintings. I live on the South Shore of Nova Scotia in Canada and paintings can be shipped to most locations. I can work from photos, but when possible I like to visit and be able to take my own reference shots. Once the image is approved, I can get started with the original painting.
The cost depends on complexity and size of the painting.
Please contact me and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
