I live in the beautiful countryside of Southwestern Ontario, between Elora and Fergus, during an “in between” time when this landscape continues to be disrupted and re-formed by human interference.

These interrupted landscapes are juxtaposed to the presence of untamable cloudscapes that look to initiate statio: that intentional pause to contemplate what is at stake and the role our choices and inertia play in the midst of our relentless environmental disruption.

I have relied upon a pencil these last 30+ years in the Feature Film industry and so there is a certain consistency that the work is rendered with coloured pencils directly upon wood panel.
The wood grain, reading as a palimpsest, is visible and integral: the medium remains on the surface of the harder wood fibres and allows light to “occupy” the “in-between".

I have a design degree from TMU (Ryerson) and an MA from Yale University.

Given the medium, I prefer those interested in purchasing see my work in person.
Appointments can be arranged via email. Delivery available within the GTA.
