"Big fan of your work. In the vast world of art, I find that only a small amount of work is outstanding and memorable. So – as with music of any of the other arts – a unique contribution stands out."
– James Ferguson, Vancouver


"My husband and I went into a gallery in [_________] mall and all the stuff in there was godawful. Then we turned around and your art print was there like a little jewel. It was the only good piece in the gallery.

So many artists these days toot their own horns but their art is mediocre. You – on the other hand – are so good at what you do, and yet you remain modest.

You have a different take on things. Your art is timeless."

"Beautiful."
Julie MacLean, Riverside California


"One day in London, Ontario, about 20 years ago, I sat in a restaurant for two or three hours with a friend, looking at your print on the wall in front of me all the time. I said to my friend, 'I'm going home with this picture'. I bought it from the restaurant owner that day. Recently

I've been going through my art collection and felt the need to track you down through the Internet and call you now – 20 years later – to tell you how special this picture [Islands in the Lake] is. It's a passionate piece. It speaks to me. It's beautiful. It's my favorite piece of art that I own. It makes me cry. It makes me smile. You're a beautiful artist."
– Judy Harrington, London, Ontario


"I lived in Vancouver for 20 years and moved to the east coast. Then I saw this particular piece ['By the Big Rocks'] on your Web site and I cried 'cause I can see myself there. I really, really appreciate your art. I love it.

Your art is just so amazing – anyone that sees it cannot help but want a piece of your work.

You are able to capture not just the ‘view’, but also the feelings and emotions one gets when looking at that view. And – for me at least – it is very grounding. It enables me to be there in spirit, and doesn’t matter anymore that I can’t be there physically...


"Well.....its here!! And I love it!!
When I opened up the package, it "[By the Big Rocks print"] took me right back to that place [Kitsilano Beach] emotionally. I could see myself there and still got that feeling one gets when soaking in that amazing view of the ocean/mountains/city. It strengthens my memories of being there. Even having Kyber (my dog) with me at that very spot....I can still see him swimming out and getting his ball. Thanks for that!! Definitely will help settle my heart/home sickness!! Also thanks for personalizing it for me with your comments........I cried when I read your simple words!!

"I felt honoured to get the #1 [print in the edition] !!! And of course to have it match up with the personalized certificate, made it even more special/valuable!! Thanks!........

I got the print framed and up on the wall...........looks fantastic and gives me the feeing I knew it would!!

"I’ve already started saving up for my next ‘Tony Max’ print!! I can’t wait for the day when I send you the email to order it!!!"
– Karen Lewis, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
