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.

Hills dip down to the road, furrows wrinkle their brows, and trees dressed for autumn adorn their crests, but wait what's that...a sold for development sign. I'm so sad that where once rolling hills, a small pond and trees dwelled, resides a factory. Is this really progress?

Old corn rows peek out between the remains of snow, willows glow gold, as the sap begins to flow. There is a faint shimmer of colour everywhere, as life stirs just below the surface, waiting for spring.
