Circular lines of movement that start and end in the same place. Even when you're living on the periphery disruption is really a thing.

Circuit Breaker!
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.

3.5" x 3.5" Drawing on a Square in January
The square shape changes the lines – they seem short; proceeding requires more
thinking about the spaces – about the negative spaces and the positive spaces and the lines that make everything happen.

New Growth
Growth is not always in the springtime. This year has ushered out the old one with expressions of good riddance. Hopefully we have learned the lessons taught to us in 2020 in a year so fraught with difficulties and sorrow. We hope that 2021 will, indeed, be a better year.

Quintessence
In the before the "before days", it was the fifth and highest element permeating all nature -- an ancient thought.
Mixed-media (6" x 4") 2020-Apr-4
Now it is the essence of something -- essence of ink, essence of expression, essence. Essence alone and not knowable.

At the Point
It starts as a bright summer day.
Look behind and the dark clouds are giving chase.
