This series is influenced from living close to large bodies of water,
specifically Lake Simcoe & Georgian Bay of Ontario, Canada. Wasaga
Beach on the shores of Georgian Bay, the longest fresh water beach in
the world
(14 km) and a popular tourist destination, is surprisingly
quiet many times during the year making it accessible for quiet contemplation.
The Great Lakes express unique and complex nuances of colour and light
which varies each day. The water often reflects its signature cool quality,
characteristic of deep Ontario water. Georgian Bay, composed of specific
minerals, has a deep turquoise colour reminiscent of caribbean waters.
These works are symbolic of my relationship to the elements of Space,
Water & Earth. My experience of the lakes has become heightened by
the current relevancy of our precious water resources. I also include
ocean views in my work when the opportunity allows.
