While oils and acrylics are well known by all...
WHY AND WHAT IS FRESCO???
The challenging nature & historical significance of true fresco painting, with it's unique & luminous quality, has captivated me for almost 25 years!
Often combining a variety of materials, using odd, found & antique objects to create pieces that are truly one of a kind. I hope you enjoy browsing the many examples of my work, both fresco, oils and acrylics, on this site.
After graduating with honors from the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, I studied fresco painting & restoration in Florence, Italy, mentored by professor & master restorer, Lorenzo Casamenti.
