The canvas has become a map, the paintbrush a compass with which to explore the Saskatchewan landscape.  Everything we see is gift, wrapped and tied with the abundance of our land.

 Mystical moods appear in the semi-realistic approach reflected in some of my paintings. This work is an invitation for viewers to disengage from the busyness of their lives long enough to discover the beauty in their world.

 Although I paint in oil, watercolor & pastel… acrylic is currently my medium choice.  I particularly like the clear, brilliant color in acrylics and the ability to use both watercolor & oil techniques with them.  Acrylics’ transparent glazing properties facilitate the capture of sky-water reflections, and the layering of many colors atop one another, encouraging each to sing it’s own song, in harmony.
