My art deals with landscape and our civilization’s impact on it. I
realize that our subtle impacts on the land can arguably be more
aesthetically interesting than the raw wilderness that preceded them. In
my paintings I like to include things that I know exist in the
landscape, which usually are considered unsightly in a work of art. When
looking at a scene, one tends to overlook these objects. By bringing
attention to them in my work, I offer the viewer, in some ways, a more
realistic view of a typical scene.
The paintings are often of no specific place, but rather are synthesized
from many experiences and memories. I travel a fair amount, often
internationally, accumulating these ideas before painting them in my
studio on Gabriola Island, B.C. Canada. I do not foresee any sudden
thematic changes in my work, but rather a continuation of the artistic
progression I’ve been making for more than twenty years.
