Reading was always an escape for me. Growing up in a household with seven children, an alcoholic father, and more than a few relocations – books grounded me in a necessary ‘unreality’. Reading, for me, was a tool for coping.
Gesture, Energy and Time
I have always been enthralled by how a gesture can be recorded using simple tools and materials to reveal complex expression of spirit and time; charcoal and graphite, a sharp point or a dollop of paint freezes an action to be savoured with thoughtful contemplation.
Everyone Is An Artist ……..?
Everyone I meet seems to belong to two large groups as far as their art ambitions are concerned: “I cannot draw a stick person” group and “I always knew I was an artist” group. Yes, everyone is an artist. But you have to pursue it just like any other goal in life, with necessary time and dedication.
“Klekti” – Multi-Dimensional Art for Multi-Dimentional Time
The word ‘Klekti’ combines the meaning of ‘collective’ and ‘eclectic’. Every art trend reflects fundamental changes in people’s lives. Access to information has changed and it is changing us. My art uncovers these multi-dimentional aspects of life.
Art Criticism on a Bed of Witticism
I read Albert Einstein’s definition of time and space when I was 14 years old, blown away by a few simple words; “Time is what we measure with a clock, space is what we measure with a ruler”.
An Artist in Nova Scotia
I am walking down to Pip’s Pond. The road goes through pine forest, softly needled, and then into open grass. Big hills rise up on both sides and there is just me and the place together. As I walk around a curve I see big, moving, dark shapes up on the road ahead. What are they?
The Rite of Spring
As a trained musician and passionate artist I feel incredibly fortunate that I have been able to combine my two worlds. On the one hand, music provides a seemingly endless resource of inspirational content and painting is the perfect channel for my discovery therein.
Do Not Repair Please
“The shell must break before the bird can fly.” Alfred Tennyson, The Ancient Sage 1884. Perhaps you can relate to Tennyson’s quote. Has it happened to you?
“Self-Portrait, Fugue”
I want to capture what it is to be bereft, or broken-hearted. There is an energy there, and a potential for creativity that is important to listen to, watch and learn from. I plan 99% of my paintings but when you will become unhelmed you must seize the moment and paint it.
Astral Musings
We are the descendants of an endless line of anonymous ancestors, from human to animal to fundamentally, the dust of deceased stars. The largest stars end their time through a fiery cataclysm called a supernova.
