I design my work to create a quiet intimacy with
my subjects, inviting the viewer into the voluptuous folds of a rose,
the intricate tributaries of a leaf, or the anthropomorphic qualities of
still life. Arbutus tree bark in various degrees of exfoliation, with
evolving colours and dramatic patterns, continues my examining of
abstractions in the natural world. The more familiar intimacies of body
fragments and beds with their human impressions explore these same
elements where reality blurs into abstraction. Ultimately, I want my
paintings to feel both familiar and mysterious at the same time.
I was born and raised in BC and studied at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design Concordia University. I live and work on Vancouver Island and am represented by various galleries. Madrona Gallery in Victoria will exhibit a mid-career retrospective "Intimate Views: 1993 - 2012" from 11 - 25 February.
