BC Wildfires

BC Wildfires addresses the global problem of climate change. As our planet continues to warm, the summer wildfires in British Columbia have grown in intensity with each passing year resulting in a tremendous loss of wildlife and resources, mass evacuations, and even the total destruction of the town of Lytton. Seen from the Alberta side of the mountains, this painting shows the red skies and smoke-filtered sun that have been coloured by the heat of the fires -- a solemn warning of the encroaching danger and a clear reminder of our challenges ahead.. .

Sunrise Studio A

For twenty years I regularly attended morning classes at Alberta Ballet to draw the dancers. Sunrise Studio A depicts the glorious early mornings when sunshine flowed through the studio windows and bathed the room in honey.

The Rising

The Rising is based on my firm belief that our earliest instincts (aside from food, shelter and survival) include scratching images into the dirt and onto cave walls, pounding out rhythms on hollow logs and dancing around fires. Art, spiritualism and magic defined our earliest ancestors search for who we are and why we are here. Sadly, throughout our history, we have slowly assigned less and less importance to these primal instincts and, as a result, the world around us has become more grey and uncertain. The Rising is a painting about us and who we’ve always been -- emerging from ignorance to light. It's a painting about hope.

Ancient Wisdom

Our ancient ancestors have all followed a similar cultural path. The names, stories, gods and legends may be different but the quest for who we are and where we fit in the universe is the same. From the beginning of time, in all parts of the world, art, music, dance and the spoken word have provided us with links to our past and to the mysteries of life. Art, even in the most difficult and unsettling times, continues to touch us all. I would like to dedicate this painting to all the visual artists, musicians, dancers, performers, writers and poets who, despite a recent covid-related survey naming “artists” as the least essential service on the face of the earth, continue to work quietly at their craft. We have always been here – and always will be

Vortex Of Vibrance

The artwork titled "Vortex of Vibrance" is a stunning abstract painting that captivates with its abundance of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. Measuring 11” x 14”, the piece is a harmonious blend of alcohol ink, acrylic paint, and posca markers on paper which come together to create a composition that is both visually rich and energetically expressive. The painting showcases a diverse palette, predominantly featuring shades of red, blue, green, and purple. The red section commands attention on the right side of the canvas with its solid, striking presence. In contrast, the left side is a swirl of blue and green hues, interwoven in an irregular, layered texture that adds depth and complexity. Subtle hints of metallic copper and metallic bronze offer a gentle contrast to these vibrant colors, contributing to a softer interaction that balances the intensity of the piece. The overall effect of "Vortex of Vibrance" is one of intensity and fluidity. The spontaneous and expressive style of the brushstrokes evokes movement, making the painting feel alive and dynamic. The unique process of creation included layering vivid alcohol inks and acrylic paint. This intricate process and the lively execution make "Vortex of Vibrance" a captivating piece that draws the viewer in, encouraging them to explore the rich layers and vibrant interactions within the artwork. Sold with 11” x 14” white mat and backboard ready to fit your 16” x 20” picture frame of your choice.
