Painter and Sculptor

I’m an artist working in sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking. I first worked as an advertising artist and Art Director before starting to paint again seriously thirty years ago.

I have a keen interest in systems of representation from first working with symbols for corporate design clients, and further, fine art representations in oil painting and sculpture.

My work explores formal relationships between colour and composition, representation, identity, agency, feminism, beauty, as well as examining racism, gender, and prejudice.

My most recent painting has been en plein air landscapes in Vancouver, B.C., Edmonton, Alberta, and currently in the Kawacatoose First Nation, my home.

Concurrently I completed several dozen floral studies as memorials and to show respect for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women in Canada.

Sculptural work includes two large scale soapstone pieces, currently in progress.
