Direction of Work
In recent years, work has focused largely on watercolour painting, particularly in the rendering of the Canadian landscape. The desire to depict landscape in a harmony of reduced line, rhythm of shape and colour results in uniquely stylized compositions that are intended to emulate the harmony of the Canadian landscape as it is.
Ultimately I am interested in capturing the sublime quality of the Canadian landscape through the purity of the relationship of one shape, line or colour to the next. While my work is by no means limited to landscape, diversions from this subject are largely further studies into the interplay of these basic elements of form and structure. Some recent work has also delved into sociopolitical issues and on a more personal level, family history.
Work displayed in numerous
corporate and private collections.
