"I come from a family of artists and have been encouraged from birth to express myself artistically. My present work is the culmination of my love and mastery of metal arts and a refinement of what I experience through my vision. A sunrise over Hornby Island from a beach on Denman makes an indelible impact of brilliant orange on my senses to render, in part, on canvass. Sunlight leaves dazzling sparkles on the sea for me to reflect in gold and silver. The patina of moss in a gully or water darkened rock entices me with its infinite sublety and contrast. The lens of my vision magnifies the essence of these things and charges me to reproduce what I see."
