Artist’s Statement
“ The closer to the Grave we
go, the more we see with God’s
eye, for like the pine tree
from the cone, we see the
purpose of things that grow
from the smallest signs”-Keith
Henderson
I have always had a strong
interest in
Modern/Contemporary artists
such as Thomson, Harris, Van
Gogh, Andrew Wyeth, Alex
Colville and April Gornik.
What draws me to these artists
is their interest in the
capture of light and shadow,
movement and stillness, detail
and the element of the
spiritual within nature.
One sees within their work,
reverence for the elements of
nature and an elusive
something unseen beyond
nature. What distinguishes
their art is purposeful
selection, the underlying
consciousness, order, and
judgement their sense of
purposeful selection
presupposes, the same unseen
qualities that quicken their
concept of nature. Such
artists do not only “hold the
mirror to nature” as William
Shakespeare suggests, but
reach outward to touch what
Shakespeare called “the
divinity that shapes our end.”
My current series of paintings
are worked in acrylic on
canvas. They focus on the
haunting ephemeral quality of
the land which surrounds my
community and the transience
of clouds ...
