"Artist at Work"
I've always been fascinated by the actual process of making art. I remember one of my primary school teachers talking about the "organized confusion" found in an artist's studio. My studio is like this when my work is at it's best

"Beach in Victoria, B.C."
Emily Carr, one of Canada's finest artists from the past, sat on this beach and enjoyed the same experience as I have here. The same sounds of waves, the same clouds. The same peace.

"Cows Near my Home"
I especially like the free brushwork in the trees of this painting. That is what I liked about the later works of Emily Carr. Lots of life breathing between the brushstrokes,allowing the ground colours to seep through and penetrate your senses. Cows are very curious creatures. They are very interested in people.

"Cut Tulips"
I love tulips! You plant them and they just keep coming back generation after generation. Just like generations of family. That's why I study so many tulips.

"A Day out with Emily"
When I hike into a clearing of trees in the forest, I see nothing but Emily Carrs all around me. I explore the same shapes and rhythms, with varying success. I certainly enjoy the ride of emotions that develope while searching .
