The learning goal of this class is not to teach students how to draw, it is for students to learn how to see, like an artist. Before an artist can properly draw anything, they must first learn how to carefully observe and unlearn preconceived ideas of what they’re actually seeing.

I was honoured to win a nation wide contest to illustrate Dennis Lee's reprint of Alligator Pie. I have illustrated five published children's books in total. I graduated from a Canadian Art College in Visual Communications, then worked as an illustrator for thirty years, doing mostly editorial and advertising commissions. I have done numerous, live drawing presentations for elementary age children at schools and libraries. 

Most recently, I taught Illustration and drawing fundamentals for seven years at a Canadian Art University.
