Orchard in Bloom 1: Paper Collage of Spring Blossom images, a series. The changing seasons delight me, spring and autumn might be my favourites, but seeing how trees change through the year is really the aspect of seasonal change I appreciate the most. Almost everywhere I've lived in Canada I've found old abandoned fruit trees planted by European settlers, and many are now left to grow wild. The shapes of trees pruned to fruit are unique, and trees that have been pruned then left to grow wild make the most amazingly complex and tortured looking tree shapes. This series of collages of orchards in bloom uses a variety of papers painted and coloured in different ways. Some of the trees are made of security envelopes, and some of a bark pattern I drew, scanned, and printed for this project. I've used a wide range of media in the coloured parts of this piece, crayon, pencil crayon, watercolour, graphitint paint, ink, acrylic, gouache, pen and pencil too. The assembly process in creating collages is the most fun part; once I've assembled papers with the colours and patterns I want to use, I move pieces around and contemplate, then I start cutting paper, then I juggle parts around again... I inevitably end up with lots of extra pieces, spare parts, which is partly why my collages tend to become series of works with a similar theme. I hope this image evokes a recollection of warm spring air scented with trees in bloom.

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.
