I draw my own graphic – which appears weekly, in the local real estate paper. Some of my art work is out an about town – Jim Lavin Electrical logo – the little “bonhomme” is my design.  He was one of my first designs, and Jim is still using my art work!  His logo is recognizable, known and visible on his work vehicles.” “My greatest pride is the mural I painted on the exterior wall of the Penetang Legion Br. 68.  I painted the mural in 2010.”Inquiries should be sent to bigartbuzz@gmail.com.

Mea Culpa

” I came across this roadside crucifix during a winter vacation in Switzerland years ago, and it caught my immediate attention. My imagination planted the idea in my head to incorporate it in a future painting. One of those rare moments, when a perfect composition for a new painting already unfolds right in front of you. It is also one of the paintings that will remain in my own private family collection.”
