About The Artwork

This pen and ink watercolor image is of a listed property on the shores of Lake SImcoe, in the township of Georgina, about two hours north of Toronto. The house is called The Plumstead House. The house is believed to have been built in 1822 by Joseph Periguine and purchase in 1829 by Thomas Mossington, a retired naval officer and one of the early settlers in the area who named the house "Plumstead" after his home in England. The house is an interesting example of the Georgian influence on the design and construction of homes in the early l800's. The drawing is a colorful representation of the family home, surrounded by trees and a wonderful garden.

Boats, seascapes, people and the homes and buildings that have special meaning for them -- these are the foundations of my work as an artist. My travels to Guernsey, Channel Islands, the home of my family and where I spent many formative years, and my travels throughout Canada, where I now live and find inspiration, provide the images and impressions that are the subjects of my latest works. I have a fascination with line, its inward and outward curves, how it separates human from natural space, how it can transmute the physical and visual history of a building or landscape into their present day forms. My passion for history and the dimensions of line have inspired me to create a series of pen and ink drawings based on the history of Guernsey. In addition to my Guernsey series, I am often commissioned by my clients to create pen and ink drawings of their homes, their families or a favorite car or boat. In each drawing, my challenge is to depict the unique personalities of the subjects. For my paintings, I favor acrylic on stretched canvas. Acrylic allows me to lay washes of color to reflect depth and atmosphere and it allows me to represent the vagaries of light, its conflict with shadow, and how colors are transformed by both. I now live and work in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Having studied with such established artists as Nan Hogg, Kathleen Schmalz, and Janette Hayhoe, I work out of a studio in Guelph as well as on location.
