About The Artwork
This autumn tree collage is created from leaves made from a dropcloth; the sheets of paper I use to cover my work surface when I paint; they start out catching drips and spills from other artwork, a place where I check pens and colours, and eventually become their own works of art. The colours of autumn inspire me in so many ways, I love the changing of the seasons. The exact colours in the landscape varies depending on where you live. Growing up in Ontario I loved the delicate pinks of Sugar Maples. Now that I live in BC, the bold gold/orange, occasionally spotted leaves of the Big Leaf Maple are what inspires me. Trees give one a sense of place, and I find that comforting. I make friends with trees, and I have fond memories of specific trees in particular places; the Willow tree I climbed with my cousins, the big Beech tree at the farm where I spent weekends with my parents. I think this is why trees appear so frequently in my artwork. As a person of European ancestry born in Canada I acknowledge my settler privilege, and I undertake to show respect for the beautiful land I'm grateful to inhabit now.

Canada
Born in Toronto Ontario, I'm now fortunate enough to live on the west coast of Canada, and I'm completely in love with the natural environment around me. While my art is seldom a literal representation of my landscape, the natural world I walk through informs the textures, lines and colours in my work. I'm presenting a series of animal silhouette images, of Canadian wildlife, mostly west coast creatures, including Elk, Bear, Orca, Starfish, Deer, Bison, Beaver, Salmon and Cod. This series of silhouettes will be developed in a variety of medium, the 'Dropcloth' series uses backgrounds created using the paper that covers my work surface when I paint, and the 'Maps' series uses old paper maps used for motorcycle touring in Canada. The Pen and Ink series explores using black lines to define positive and negative space of animal silhouettes, by using lines represent textures of plants and also to outline the shapes of animals. The animal silhouette series has expanded to include trees and clouds, so the creatures have an environment. In 2022 I'm expanding my offerings with paintings as well as collages and drawings.
