Social distancing
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.

Retro 1996
Recently
a painting of mine was rediscovered, that is to say it had been
forgotten in a drawer. It was one that I had done more than 20 years
ago.
Curious about others from that date tucked away in my 1996 portfolio, I
took another look at them and noticed ones I
hadn’t used for exhibit or display. They caught my eye this time round
and
demanded a re-examination. Here are a few of them:

Crevasses
The sheer stress of semi-rigid pieces moving, creating a breach, a crack, a cleft, an abyss.
