Retired from thirty-six years of teaching and curating, I embrace my art journey now full-time. I work from my studio, Hawkwater and am the founder of Canadian Caribou Cards. My works have been exhibited in North America and European venues, and purchased in private and public sectors.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am always engaged in a curiosity about the world at large. I have a profound love for humanity and a connectedness with nature and the ever present cycle of life. I paint and document those measures of time that are both narrative and celebratory.
I am an abstract expressionist painter, whose work moves between the stylized and abstract, employing expressive mark making and universal iconography. Cartographic elements are explored and implied in my compositions.
