Perceptions of Balance-Visualizing Japan

Sunday, March 9, 2025 - 22:30

Esther Rausenberg, Gillian Armitage and I will be exhibiting a series of recent wood prints, etchings, collage, paintings and photographs that reflect our experiences and impressions of Japan. These images are an exploration of 'nagomi', a core principle of Japanese philosophy that embodies harmony and balance in all aspects of life. It is both an ideal and a practice- a way of seeing and being. Please join us!

Opening: Saturday March 22, from 2-5 pm.

Artists talk: Saturday, March 29th, 2 pm.

Red River Series

Thursday, April 25, 2024 - 09:56

From a trip down the Red River from Winnipeg to North Dakota in the summer of 2023, images gleaned from archives as well as on site drawings inform this suite of mixed media paintings on Mylar as well as large-format prints that reflect/examine my Metis Red River lineage. My father, through both his parents, did not talk about his ancestry and so much of this unearthing has been through the initiative of others. Residents of Le Mans, France, for example, began to contribute ancestry materials for those who had died during the second World War in the liberation of France.

Japan Woodcuts, Kyoto to Kanazawa

Thursday, February 29, 2024 - 16:33

A recent trip to Japan in spring of 2023 resulted in a collection of drawings and location sketches, as well as gouache paintings. These in turn, have provided the materials for this series of woodcuts called Kyoto to Kanazawa Suite. That which to me typified certain aspects of this beautiful country, from shrines and temples to ceremonial bulls, carp and figures emerging from rain... poetry prevails. The blocks were printed in small editions (5 each) on Japanese Mulberry paper. They are available either individually or as a set.

In Situ painting

Tuesday, April 11, 2023 - 13:23

I have always worked on location. This is the source for almost all of my studio works as well...whether sketchbook drawing or paintings directly on site, the vitality of being there, in the elements, is critical to a spontaneous tone. This spring, i am working on paper that is primed first, in long panoramic format. Here are some work in progress photos...

The Gathering Suite 2022

Thursday, February 2, 2023 - 10:32

The Gatherings Suite pays tribute to the artists, activists, and cultures of the DTES community. In an area frequently characterized by its tragedies, these murals shift that perception, highlighting instead the community’s cultural and activist leaders and their positive contributions. The canvas murals add to the original Gatherings triptych by Richard Tetrault completed in 2016.
