Artist Statement My father was an accomplished painter and in his later years, when he could paint no more, he encouraged me to take his easel and paint supplies to see if I might enjoy putting brush strokes to canvas. It wasn’t until he passed that I took up the brush to explore the medium of water color paint.

I live in Parksville on beautiful Vancouver Island on the West Coast of BC, Canada. Surrounded by eagles, I felt inspired to do a collection of these majestic birds.

I was born in Norway and so I’m sure my artistic style comes with a flavor of my old country Viking ancestry. I am also a musician and love to write music and play the piano and guitar plus have written several books.

I am married to my beautiful wife, Debbie since 1973. We have two children and eight grandchildren.

I used to be a professional magician and owned the Victoria Trick and Joke shop. At 28 years old by life took on a whole new direction. I went from being a magician to missionary in Central America. You can read more about this adventure in my book “Come Follow Go.” Here is a link to this if you are interested in knowing more. https://www.amazon.ca/Come-Follow-Go-Getting-following/dp/1481041029
I also wrote a short song about my experience called the “Good News Story.” This is available on my YouTube channel.
