About The Artwork
Mixed Media: Acrylic, photography and found material on Shaped Canvas. This is a combination of a painting on location (camping at Sandbanks) and then combining that painting with the photo which was taken at the time, later in my studio to create one coherent piece. This process is very challenging since I paint before I actually see and print the phot. What I’m actually painting is my impression of the moment. Also I have to combine two different types of canvas into one coherent unit. Fire Dance is another painting shot and painted on location. I was inspired by the firelight casting shadows and reflecting of the plants arroung my campfire as I sat there with my doughters enjoying the moonless night. I got my camera and shot. The next day I stretched canvas and from memory captured the feel of what I saw the night before. The stems reaching into the dark night, the sparks rising on the heat of the fire and the shimmer of the fire light on the vagation. And off course I introduced the actual vegetation into the painting.

Canada
Postmodern art has a fixation on absolute contrasts; photography and painting, abstract and representation, and conceptual and practical. My study is a dismantling of these conventional categories through the integration of elements found within sculpture, painting, and photography. The sculpted canvases are handmade and unique to each artwork. The structural forms fragment the frame and instill movement, disrupting the conventional geometric configuration of wall-mounted artwork. Each piece is a deconstruction of the surrounding environment, as the structural form of the canvas abstracts the natural lines within. My investigation into the tradition of Canadian art, the unadulterated beauty of the physical world, and resonating passing memory, results in an attempt to communicate the grandeur and fragility of nature. I have studied in Banff School of Fine Arts and have a four year diploma in Fine Arts (1978) and a four year diploma in Graphic Design (1983) from Ontario College of Art (presently OCAD University). My last year of the Fine Arts program was spending in Florence, Italy studying under Canadian Figurative Artist Tom La Pierre.
