Message2021-2024 West Coast Realities
In March 2020, I came to Vancouver Island to visit my oldest son, and ended up staying. These are some of the paintings that came through. I was trying to understand the forest in new and personal ways. I painted outside quite a bit as I found work/trade locations to live and help out on hobby farms. Here I found out that I had been suffering from a brain injury most of my life and took a pause to regroup and heal layers of trauma.
2012-2019 No Place Like Home
These seven years were back in Waterloo Region where I had spent my childhood. I chose to return from the Pacific Northwest to reset a list family ties and have the youngest boys go to Rockway Mennonite School supported by family and church congregations. I attended Consestoga Small Business Venture Program and did many public performance pieces, group shows, community art and helped start The Bright Spot. (A place to support creative entrepreneurs)
2000-2005 Breakdown to Break Through.
A transformative time with two toddlers and three preteens in a blended family, then heading out on my own with a the two toddlers. Still managed to do art through it all. Started to do Art Heals workshops at the Mission Arts Center where I had my studio. Taught OK to B Us art classes to home schoolers.
1988-1999 Early Investigations
After art school and my BFA degree, at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, I tried to keep up my painting and earning a living through a wearable art line called Babel Paper Media Wear. These paintings and sculptures are from that time.
Supernatural Landscape
Every time nature seems to pull my glance saying, “See me!” It seems to like to dazzle and sparkle. The negative space and colour seem to indicate another dimension peaking through the mundane. I seek to capture things no one has seen before.
Prints on Metal
The light parts in these works gleam with metal, and I scratch into the surface with original marks.
Shadow Series
Prompting Starry Ai is an art in itself. It was easy to imagine that it was just another tool as I set the prompts for these images to share with you. I believe they will add a sense of wonder and you will see something more in them the more you live with the pieces.
