I completed my BFA in 1983 at the University of Manitoba as a Graphic Design major. I loved design but also found myself spending a lot of time in the printmaking and letterpress studios.

Upon graduation I spent over twenty years in design industry. In the early 2000’s an opportunity came up to teach a course at Red River Polytech. One course became two, and then quickly became a full-time teaching position. I spent fifteen years in the design department teaching courses in software, production, design and, after a few years became the program’s coordinator. It was a busy time but incredibly rewarding and inspiring working with students. At the same time, it left little time to work on my projects.

In January 2021 I decided it was time to get to moving on all those projects in my head and began to plan for retirement on the west coast. I had always wanted to live near the water and the dream was finally realized in July 2021.  I now have the time to paint and to explore projects using my letterpress collection in one of the most beautiful spots in Canada.
