Pigeons and Starlings
As an artist I have chosen to explore the “sense of place” embodied in both the landscape and the built heritage of Atlantic Canada. My paintings are not imaginary or metaphoric but are rather literal studies that attempt to capture the powerful and resonant reality of our Maritime experience. While often drawing on elements from our past, my paintings are accurate portrayals of a particular present moment. The unspoken question they invariably raise is: What will this scene look like in ten, fifteen, fifty, maybe a hundred years from now? Time, place and change are central undercurrents to my art.
