Sandstone soft. Striking in colour.
Wind, in effects.
Brilliant light of summer.

Headland
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

The Landscape of the Imagination: re-visioning Prince Edward Island
In association with the LMMI’s 15th biennial conference (22-26 June), I have one of three special exhibitions on display at UPEI’s Robertson Library.
"L.M. Montgomery’s landscape descriptions allow readers to envision the Island before ever having actually seen it. The black lettering organized on pages enters through our eyes and into our mind. There we see with our inner eye a world of her making that combines with our own imagination.
The
artistic representation of that world is portrayed by its own re-visioning in
imaginary landscapes of shore and field. Abstraction and imagination are the
key words, but key words can never convey thought or concepts formed by the
endless immensity of the imagination."

The Saltwater Marsh
Flooded by tides in an eternal ebb and flow, the coastal wetlands are the harbinger of health – the unseen activity of marine life.

Drawing in the Month of January
Drawing is an exercise in imagination -- allowing the mind to wander, to become aware, to take note of the road signs and keep going.
Ink 21-January-2022 (8 x 5.5)
Sometimes the direction along the road call for correction before continuing and once the route has been re-plotted you are free to wander again.
Ink 17-January-2022 (8 x 5.5)
How do you know you are there?
Ink 15-January-2022 (8 x 5.5)
Sometimes you end up at the finish line,

sometimes you end up in a labyrinth.

The excesses of December warrant black and white austerity.
