Directions in the New Year
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.

Storm Surge: an Interpretation
 |
| Storm Surge, 2002 (paper 11" x 15") |
Cold, windy and circling in the atmosphere, sweeping around fro the southwest to the northeast.

| Storm Surge, 2004 (paper 11" x 15") |
A nor'easter with high tide.

In retrospect it becomes clear.
