I am a contemporary Canadian landscape artist.
I'm a visual story teller engaged in a mad race against time. recording disappearing pre-urbanized landscapes, as cities swallow land in fertile temperate zones. I use Elemental Texture, Luminous Colour, Symbolic Shapes and Lyrical Line and a process I have developed and call Glazed Acrylic.

Inland from the lake, a steep road rises to the crest of the ridge that defines the shore of the ancient sea. Fruit Ridge, as it's name denotes is the home to orchards and fertile farms that bask in the sun on this southern slope . |

Just Outside Of Town,
To the South of town, the land is still farms, to the North the voracious city is gobbling land up. I record what is, but I wonder how long will this vista of lovely lyrical lines will last? Is the loss of productive land inviable or is there a way to develop more intelligently?
