Painting - "FLURRIES"
Acrylic & Pastel on Paper
30" X 22"
This area of Vancouver has historically been home to the Musqueam Indian people who hunted, fished and lived within it.. Looking at the decaying remains of what were colossal trees, I am inspired to speculate on the powerful feelings of grandeur and awe that this forest has generated for those who have walked through it.
VISAC GALLERY, Trail, B.C. 1994
Painting - "SURVIVAL"
Acrylic & Pastel on Paper
30" X 22"
In the fall the roadside weeds are in a last 'grip of life' before winter sets in. Their exploding seed pods are a brave act of survival. My shadow on the landscape indicated man's presence - one of destroying and polluting or preserving and renewal - the choice is ours.
Painting - "FRICTIONAL DRAG"
Mixed Media on Canvas
53" x 42"
Swash marks are an oceanographical term for the tiny lines of sand left on a beach by each receding wave. I have tried to depict the feelings of serenity and renewal that a newly washed beach can evoke but waves also inevitably leave debris!
Painting - "PINK SNOW"
Acrylic on Canvas
40" X 30"
The City of Trail paintings developed as I noticed the orange evening glow that envelopes the Trail area and seems to transform the smelter complex into a magical place that transform grey rock into shining metals.
