Artist Statement:
My earliest artistic impulses
were satirical. Whether
drawing unflattering cartoons
of family members or playing
the class clown, my creative

in the world in three
dimensions. I would be a
surrealist sculptor. After
graduating from the University
of Toronto in 1982 with an
Honours BA in political
science and a solid grounding
in what a blighted place our
world is, I went to search for
my piece of Mammon. I utilized
my artistic skills as a three
dimensional illustrator for ad
agencies. I did not abandon my
dream of being a surrealist
sculptor, but added to it a
new dream. I hoped to create a
themed gallery for my art work
and the work of other like
