Canada in 1946.  He was a former teacher of Canadian History and Geography in Kelowna B.C.  In June 1984, with no formal art training, he started drawing pen and ink completely freehand.  He has illustrated Canada's best selling fly-fishing book: THE GULLY.  During Expo 86 he was the only Pen and Ink artist at the B.C.

His unique style is now collected by thousands around the world.
