About The Artwork

My current body of work questions anonymity and the release of personal information. Initial contacts were made on internet chat sites with random individuals who had indicated a common interest in art. The Stranger was then asked to send me their photo with a view to having their image painted. Often I suspected the image was not their own and if an image was sent to me there were frequent unseen conditions and agendas. Initially trusting with my internet contacts, time saw me become wary and apprehensive, increasingly suspicious that the photo had been sent by a Catfish*. I have also added scraps of the texts that were sent to me along with the photos to indicate how original information fragments and distorts with the passage of time. On occasions I verified that the photos were fictional as with the Faber College[of Animal House fame] works;in response I destroyed the original leaving only a c-print as testimony to the deception. * Catfish Urban Dictionary 2014. A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities.

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.
