In painting, colour and rhythm, expressed by the unique properties of line and oil paint and more recently watercolour, pastel, plaster and collage, are the means I use to capture aspects of my environment which I see, feel and hear. I try to remain fresh, observant, sensitive ….. hopefully never static, always responsive and changing.
I attribute to my last 40 years on the prairies the conditions I need to sustain my art-making. Works whose subject matter is derived from music and interiors and landscape somehow find their way into abstracted landscapes. Subtle prairie tones prompt imaginary colour; flatness encourages texture. Rhythm easily seems to come from stillness.
