Bilateral Harbour

This long piece of the inner harbour presents the wood block (matrix) and the final print in juxtaposition. This reveals the process of printing, with its mirror-image indicating the underlying print process. This work is mounted on a wood panel and framed.

Illuminated Harbour

A multi-colored woodcut of the inner harbour at night. Color woodblocks are jigsawed out creating a patterned ground work for the key block/image. I am fascinated by the nocturnal harbour, its moods and underlying narratives.

Powell Street

This woodcut, printed in five colors in my Strathcona studio, reflects the facade of a building on Powell Street and evoking the cultural character of that street's history. Framed to 30" X 40" .

Between Earth and Sky

Up Inlet #3

This piece reflects the dynamic inner harbour of Vancouver, from north shore looking up the inlet. The Ironworkers Bridge with the history as a landmark bridge and its tragic collapse in the 1950's, acts as an over-arching framework.

Untitled (Rialto Triptych)

Gouache on paper sequence painted on location at the Rialto fish market, Venice. I wanted to evoke the place but more importantly, evoke a collage of 'experiences'.

Rialto-Interlude

The Rialto Market on the Grand Canal of Venice is my favorite location for drawing in the city. It is an ever-changing scene under columns and celebratory-red banners. This acrylic work is of a moment's reflection after the market has closed for the day.

Stone Figures, Venice

studies of states of decay of stone relics. I am interested in their dissolving nature and their levels of deterioration while still remaining 'human'.

Venetian Series-Torcello torsos 1,2,3

A series of torsos improvised from some sculptural remnants in Torcello, an outlying island of the Venetian islands.
