Falling Leaves
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.

Swirling Leaves
It is fall in the northern hemisphere and the leaves are brilliant against the sky and the pumpkins are cheerful and plentiful.

Dance of the Fall
Watching the wind take the leaves where it wills; it is the dance of the Fall.

Does the wind have a will? Do leaves blow where they will?
