ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I created this collage in an attempt to show the horror of global warming, using Jim Morrison's and The Doors lyrics from "When The Music's Over" as a guide. The mixed media used is pastel, black ink, gold paint and gold leaf for the sun, and I have cut out pictures of butterflies from my own paintings. "Found" items include pressed grasses and leaves; birch bark; rocks with fossil fragments; "Old Man's Beard" hanging from dead trees in the forest; and fragments from a hornet's discarded paper nest. The photograph of Jim Morrison's tombstone was taken by myself when I visited the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

I was born in South Africa and then studied for at Rhodes University under professor Brian Bradshaw. I lived in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada for 9 years. and during that time opened an art gallery (with gift shop), and a working studio where I painted and taught people to do the same. Although being a landscape painter using pastel has been a lifelong love, I now explore other media in an effort to express my strong thoughts and emotions\ . This has been a voyage of discovery where I have found new dimensions I was only able to dream of in the past. Please note that ALL of my images (C.N.
