A self-taught artist who takes inspiration from the Impressionists.
"Current major forces, both in education and in our society, tend to ignore the value and contribution of art. We must, more than ever, support and encourage the arts in everyday life."
"It's not about clay so much as how it relates to our lives."
"I am interested in what the distance of time and space can do to distort and obscure the images."
“I saw a large painting of a mountain by Lawren Harris, and I felt that I had never seen a mountain before.”
"The art that I make and that I see others make confirms the miracle of being alive."
“I always hope that my conscious intentions will somehow be transcended and that the work will take on its own life and vitality beyond my expectations."
"Since early childhood I have explored the mountains around Vancouver and then later the Coastal Mountains of BC."
Watercolour, gouache and travel.
Inspired by Finn Slough.
