Artist Statement: My paintings have always impressed the living rhythms of nature, the interaction and relationships of one form to another and the magnified close-up view of such. A sense of emotion, natural beauty and our connection to the ancient earth are the major messages that I aim to convey in my presentations.

My earlier career in the land and geology sectors of Mobil Oil in Calgary and in mining with Cominco in Vancouver have proved an important basis for inspiring my artistic life.

For the past ten years I have been working continuously on two intertwining themes - Connections and Interior Design. The Connections series incorporates linear forms of land and sea and relates to the connectedness of all life. This naturally leads to the Interior Design series, a play on words for the beauty of the inner earth. I have become absolutely fascinated by the beauty of fossils and have used artistic license to bring these to life in many colors.

Heavily textured and sculptured supports create the setting for the Interior Design series, with slices of ancient rocks, fossils and skeletonized leaves sometimes being incorporated.

Geologists around the globe will be delighted to see an artist’s passion for earth science as my paintings have been featured on three geological magazine covers in the past few years.
