Lots of stuff goes on in this shop, located in Lorette, Manitoba.

Primarily it's the building and repair of classic wood & canvas canoes, and the making of premium canoe paddles. I also do custom boat building, composite fabrication, and special projects. A growing passion of mine is the making of classical guitars, I'll post about that, too.

I want to be able to share with my clients the progress of their commissioned work. Later I started thinking that there might be other people who are interested in what goes on inside a wooden canoe shop operated by an artist and a recovering teacher.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by email, phone, or by post. My mailing address is:

I will be presenting my past and current work here.  All work available for purchase will be identified and a price presented.  Any work which is not available will be identified.
Offers for commissioned works will be welcomed and considered.

After completing my training at the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, I needed work and I found that working on wooden canoes provided me with an income right away.  The work just kept coming and now 25 years later, I am still at it, building and repairing traditional wood and canvas canoes is my bread and butter.

I started out as an artist.  Photography was my first artistic passion, way back during my school days.  In university my interest in painting took over as a central focus, and I expanded my activities and abilities in sculpture, printmaking, etc.
