When I picture clouds, in my minds eye, I'm lying on my back in the grass looking up... except when I picture sunrise or sunset clouds; then, the self of my imagination, is sitting by water. Images of clouds have appeared in my artwork over the years, but I think this is my first time really focusing on the shapes of groups of clouds, like small flocks of sheep they can gather in groups, and this series of cloud silhouettes celebrates that aspect of clouds. The positive and negative spaces are explored with colour in or around the cloud silhouettes, and the backgrounds in this series feature colours of summer skies, dusk, dawn and sunsets too. This particular dusk and dawn coloured background was created with crayons on bristol board, in colours that reminded me of both dusk and dawn skies, and once I had a pattern of crayon I painted over with watercolour - the crayon acts as a resist, the wax displaces the watercolour, but the paint fills in the spaces where they crayon isn't - I really enjoy this specific interplay of media, the water resistant colour and the watercolor and the ways they combine and collaborate. I hope that these images evoke happy memories of welcoming a new day and the dawn light, or sending off a good day at dusk as twilight approaches.

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 2024 I'm expanding my offerings with paintings as well as collages and drawings.
