Artist Statement:
My content is geometric,
abstract and colourist.
Although I’ve lived in
Vancouver since 1983, I grew
up in Toronto where I became
aware of painters like Ad
Reinhardt, Jack Bush, Mark
Rothko, Morris Louis, Kenneth
Noland, Sonia Delaunay,
Arshile Gorky, Piet Mondrian,
Barnett Newman and
non-abstract painters like
Henri Matisse, Paterson Ewan,
Francis Bacon and R.B. Kitaj.
In the late-1970’s I came to
know the work of the
Neo-Expressionist and
TransAvantGarde painters like
Julian Schnabel, David Salle,
Francesco Clemente and Enzo
Cucchi. I consider all of
these artists to have a strong
metaphysical content and I
resonate with this kind of
primal expression in all art
forms, especially painting.
Similarly, I hope that my
paintings convey mystery,
mysticism and the
metaphysical....
