Change Painting

I am a Canadian artist who has been exhibiting oil paintings for four decades. My work has gone through many transformations during this time, but the recurring element is the slow, deliberate, repetitive process of making marks that resolve into a larger whole. My work is representational, but is linked to other transcendental image making processes such those found in Tibetan Buddhism and the secular work of Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman. What is painted is, to me, less important than how it is painted.
