| To capture the essence of a place is something I feel best done in person, from life, with the wind and sound and tastes and smells whirling around you. There is power, joy and physical challenge in painting outdoors alla prima. The extremes of climate, oneness with the environment, and the sociable aspects of this method of making art appeal to me greatly. |

| Pushing the boundaries of traditional Plein Air painting is currently of interest to me. Following in the footsteps of Canadian landscape painters of the past, I paint constantly what is at hand, on the spot -- forests, seascapes, falling snow, birds in the bush, and the odd mountain. Incorporating mark-making, patterns, abstraction, symbols, and expressive colour while working in the field assists my pursuit of a direct, demonstrative, unreserved body of work. |
