Japan Woodcuts, Kyoto to Kanazawa

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.

Eastside Culture Crawl 2023

I am pleased to be participating in the 2023 Eastside Culture Crawl!

This year I will be showing two main themes; the first a new series of acrylic and graphite works inspired by travels to Mexico. These works are intended to express, by simplified isolation of the figures and their integration with market-sourced elements, the grace of movement as frozen in gestures of working. Larger canvas works expand on this theme. I will also have recent pieces that are from the immediate industrial environment of Vancouver and the inner harbours.

In Situ painting

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... 

Mexican trip, sequel

Mexico is never boring or predictable.

The Gathering Suite 2022

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.
