Every being, every object has a composition worth exploring.
GROWING UP IN THE PRAIRIES IN CANADA,; WITH BRIGHT SUN, AND VIVID COLOURS; THERE WAS AN INHERENT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR NATURE AND ANIMALS.
DRAWING WITH A PENCIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT WAY TO EXPLORE PEOPLE, ANIMALS, ARCHITECTURE AND ORGANIC OBJECTS. I WAS ‘DRAWN’ INTO A WORLD OF LEARNING I NEVER KNEW.; A WORLD OF LEARNING THAT RESONATED SO DEEPLY THAT I LEFT PRE MEDICAL STUDIES AND APPLIED TO ART COLLEGE WITH VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE. I EARNED A BFA IN PAINTING AT PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN WITH A MINOR IN ART HISTORY AT THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, BOTH IN PARIS.
PARIS WAS THE ULTIMATE LEARNING ATMOSPHERE FOR ART’’S EVOLUTION, WITH THE DISCIPLINE OF RENOWNED INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AS PROFESSORS, THE LIFE OF ART BECAME ENGRAINED IN ALL MY WORK.
PARIS, TORONTO, JAMAICA, NOVA SCOTIA, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND, TORONTO, GUATEMALA, TADOUSSAC HAVE ALL BEEN HOMES AND ARE GENETICALLY WOVEN INTO ALL MY WORK.
FIGUATIVE WORK AND ABSTRACT WORK ARE THE SAME FOR ME SO THERE IS BOTH…IN PENCIL…PAINT, PHOTOGRAPHY, PORTRAIT, ON PAPER, CANVAS, WOOD, PLASTIC AND GLASS
EXHIBITIONS FEOM 1986-2020 IN GERMANY, FRANCE, ST. JOHNS, TORONTO, CHARLOTTETOWN.
WORK IN PERMANT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OLLECTIONS IN JONES FALLS, TORONTO, OTTAWA, MONTREAL, HALIFAX, US, CHARLOTTETOWN, CALGARY, OAKVILLE, TADOUSSAC AND GUATEMALA
ALL WORK IS COPYWRITE
WHICH MEANS EVEN AFTER SALE , THAT ALL ARTWORK IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE ARTIST AND CANNOT BE COPIED WITHOUT THE ARTIST’S CONSENT.
