My
long held eternal fascination of nature influences all my paintings, from
earliest years in Prince Rupert, and of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
Aspiring
to capture beyond realism an inner state seemly connected to the act of
creativity, I steadily began painting in 2002 my vision of the world.
My
practice marked by awareness and sensitivity to weather-beaten landscapes,
textures, blurred contours; tarnished metals and the enduring auras of the
intangible.
Through
an acquired understanding of control with the viscosity of paint, I focus on
every nuance of brushwork, palette knife, and how the interplay of colors
surfaces all together. I follow the
subtleties emanating from the work itself, immersing and responding to my
dedication of creating a new look in painting.
The
result of my technique is unique as the eye blends all the shifting layers into
a whole of soft forms and focus of movement and light.
I
truly revel in creating a spiritual glow and softness contrasted with the raw
and broken forms of every thought of the spirit of earthy places. Beyond mere representation of a particular scene,
to all paintings having an emotional force and resonance of a memory
interpolating the viewer into earthy surroundings.
Paintings are in private and
corporate collections worldwide.
