ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The power of nature is what my eye is drawn towards both the view and the way nature moves paint with the wet on wet techniques. I love how the flow of a river contrasts with the solidity of the exposed Canadian Shield. The glory of how it has all been sculpted by masses of ice. My plein air paintings are my response to the ancient geomorphology of Ontario and those massive living features that exist around us, 10,000 years in the making.
