Space, the natural elements, momentary awareness, and the minimalist view, all of these illustrate a place of interest for my creative inquiry. This is a visual and visceral experience - awareness of spatial relationships found in all phenomena and the stillness that underlies all. Considering that space is the primary element of all existence, it is surprising to me that aside from physics we pay minimal attention to it, preferring the manifested form.

 

From living for 40 years in fields and woods, large skies and horizons have gently brought me into a relationship with a certain minimalist aesthetic. ​Integrated into this way of seeing and perceiving is a passion of the science of direct experience, perception and being, as well as considering the true nature of our phenomenal world. 

​

The quiet relentless simplicity and stark beauty of Agnes Martin's work has endless resonance for me. Formally, Lyrical Abstraction and Minimalism also provide some influential sustenance, as does simple living and observation. I invite an approach of encountering, observing, simplifying, and learning.

My home and studio is in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, the traditional land of the Anishnaabeg people.
I share this place of beauty with Canadian artist Robert Marchessault (http://www.robertmarchessault.ca).
