In the End


An older painting that has had a bit of reworking in the spring of this year.  Finally got around to taking a picture of it! 
Painting is 18"x24" and is housepaints and acrylics on canvas.

The Honey Hunter

A new piece finished this summer.  This piece is a bit of a new beginning for me - the use of mixed media.  I have since started two new pieces that will also be along these lines.
Painting is 18"x24" and is recycled housepaints, acrylics, pastels and conte on recycled linen.

Queen Bee


A new piece!  Finished in the fall.  This painting had been on the boiler for a few years now, with the intial sketch made at a local watering hole some years ago.  I had been struggling with how to make the sketch into a painting until early this summer.
Painting measures 24"x36" without frame and is recycled house paints and acrylics on reclaimed plywood.

In This Together

AN OPEN MIND IS ADVISED

In the summer of 2009 I was invited by the agency that does the design work for the Vancouver International Film Festival to create a piece for consideration for the events poster. The theme for that year was 'An Open Mind is Advised.' This was my submission.
I did not win, but felt very honoured to have been invited, along with 10 other Canadian artists, to give it a go. The winning design was by an artist by the name of Alex Mcleod. He does incredible work and is doing very well for himself these past few years.
Piece is 38"x48". Housepaints and acrylics on recyled plywood.
