About The Artist


Whether in the Island of Malta, my country of birth or in Canada, or in my travels in Europe or America, I have always sought to interpret my environment on paper or canvas. Like the impressionists, I seek to be a ‘painter of light” and look for beauty in light and shadows and in contrasting colours. Most of my landscapes incorporate this to some degree. If the viewer looking at my work finds this to be pleasing and exciting, I feel I would have achieved my purpose. Mainly self taught, I am always looking for opportunities to widen my artistic horizons. I am currently a member of the Markham Group of Artists and the Don Valley Art Club. I have exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada, England, Germany and Malta and have received a number of awards. My paintings can be found in private homes and offices in the Canada, United States, England, France, Switzerland, Malta, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
