Alex is completely self-taught in his artistic endeavors. Frustrated by formal art instruction in school and out, Alex spent his early years almost exclusively sketching with pencil. He didn't begin painting until he was twenty years old, beginning with oil paints, but quickly deciding that acrylic was more to his liking.

       Camping, canoeing and hiking through Manitoba's wild places and travelling through Canada as well as the United States, provide Alex with pleasure and inspiration for his nature art.

       Alex is quite adept with several different mediums, but the majority of his works are acrylic on canvas and watercolour on paper. You can visit his personal website by clicking on this link:

ACRYLICS

"Acrylic is a very versatile medium, capable of everything from subtle watercolour washes to thick impasto effects, but it is ideal for painting crisp images with bold lighting effects and strong colours, and that is what attracted me to it as an artist."

Red squirrels are sometimes called 'Chickarees'. That is the name I prefer using because it reminds me of the chattering sound they make when scolding passersby.
