I have been exhibiting professionally since first appearing in a cross-country survey show, Forum 76, in Montreal in 1976 and the AGH survey show Ontario Now, in 1997. More recently I was represented by the Moore Gallery in Toronto and, lately, I have participated in shows at the Mann Gallery in St. Catharine’s and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Pumphouse Arts Centre.

There are many dualities in my life: I am both a Romantic and a Modernist. My visual interests include the two and three-dimensional. I work with black and white as well as with vibrant colour and I delight in both abstraction and realism. My two-dimensional work includes painting, collage and photography and my sculptures are assemblies made from a variety of materials including metal, wood and clay.

My objectives have been very consistent over my professional career – beauty, balance, desire and humour are ongoing themes in my work.

If I had to reduce this to one sentence, it would be “I love the simple complexity of putting together the many elements of interest from my life.” I look for balance between the primitive and sophisticated, and seek inspiration in beauty, most often through the female form or landscape.
