About The Artwork

Images are derived from omegle.com where random strangers are picked for texted conversations, ''The Stranger'' was then asked to send me their photo with a view to having their image painted . At an early stage of the project it became apparent the strangers also had their own agendas with associated role playing and misrepresentation. I have attempted to address this issue with my Catfish * works, with the image of what I have imagined the real person to be painted on the reverse of the cradled wooden panel. These works are designed to function as 3-dimensional objects to be placed on plinths Often I suspected the image was not that of the stranger and if an image was sent to me there were often unforeseen conditions and agendas. Initially confidant in my contact with strangers, time has caused me to be wary, suspicious and apprehensive. Consequently I found whatever image is sent to me the resultant ''portrait'' mirrors my own insecurities, anxieties and fears. More recently I have tended to see these interactions more through ''Rose Tinted Spectacles'' and the images have become more colorful to reflect this. I have also added scraps of the texts to these works to indicate how the original information fragments with the passage of time.

I have lived and painted in Hope, BC for the last 3 years, prior to this I was based in the Thompson Okanagan for 25 years and North Vancouver for 6 years. I sell my work mainly from my studio and at my shows. My art has been strongly influenced by the Figurative Artists of The St Ives and Newlyn Schools of Southwest Cornwall where I grew up. My first series of shows were mainly in central BC and on Vancouver Island .These were quick style renderings in House-paint based on candid moments captured through the lens of my camera. I then had a some intermittent shows [mostly group] in New York and Los Angeles but have now returned to my roots in BC.
