Shouting, "See? Look at me" -- always clothed, unless dead.

Sculpted and brilliant against the sky. Proud and perfect; it is an exhibitionist, a dresser, a looker.
It's the scent, the posture and the attitude.

Essence of Spruce (a study)
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.
