Announcement    Welcome to my shop that features original hand printed images on paper and watercolour paintings. Studies that reflect my love of the natural world. Many of the works are small in size and fit within the classification of miniature. Consider the imagery to be intimate conversations waiting to happen.

Artist Statement

My perception of the physical world and response to it is the basis of my art, interpreted through drawing, painting, carving & printing onto paper. Through analysis and careful observation I explore the delicate interplay existing between structure, form, colour, shadow and light in the composition.

Landscape and the natural world are the main themes explored in my work.
Time spent in northern wilderness areas through my life has established a strong personal relationship to the land. The wilderness region surrounding me contains an amazing array of biodiversity. I've chosen to illustrate interconnections that exists between landscape, living things and the elements. These studies serve as an archive as forces of change proceed to alter these habitats and ecosystems.

Source material is acquired from sketches and photographs I take. These are translated via a variety of artistic disciplines. Time is spent developing the image and no matter the discipline employed, each presents a set of challenges forcing me to think and learn from, to expand my levels of skill with that medium. I use various techniques that include serigraphy. relief block, plate-based intaglio, and collagraph. I also implement traditional hand printing methods with current non-toxic materials in the studio.

My belief is that I am a guest in the wilderness and it is not my intention to disturb the delicate balance established by nature, but to relay my observations and experiences through my artwork.
