Friar Tuck

With over 40 years of painting experience, he has explored various genres but specializes in Still Life. He is particularly drawn to the interplay of glass and crystal, captivated by the way light refracts and the intricate shadows these objects cast. Bold, vibrant colors are a signature of his work—bringing him joy and resonating with viewers, making his paintings instantly recognizable.

His work has been featured in art shows from Vancouver to the Ottawa Valley and has been showcased on television across Canada. A proud member of the Veterans Artist Collective, he finds solace in painting the humble beauty of still life—glass, crystal, plants, and flowers—where light and shadow create depth and meaning. This artistic focus stands in stark contrast to his intense military background, offering a sense of calm and intention in every brushstroke.

For him, there is no greater joy than spending a weekend in front of a canvas, immersed in the quiet beauty of his craft.
