About The Artwork
Tree Silhouette, a complimentary piece to accompany the animal silhouette map series, celebrating the shape of trees. Cut from a recycled map of western Canada and the BC side of the Rocky Mountains, this tree celebrates the connection between flora and waterways, and highlights the challenges of human habitation for the natural environment. Trees, and cutting them down to sell them, is how much of western Canada came to be settled by Europeans, and conflict between the forestry industry and environmental and indigenous groups continues to this day. Recycling obsolete paper into art is just one way I show my love for trees. The map this art is made from has been used in the past for motorcycle road trips, but GPS and other digital technologies are making maps obsolete; so I've been collecting maps from my motorcycle chums to use in art, and this tree (and the map animals in the animal silhouette series) are all made from retired motorcycling maps. As a person of European ancestry born in Canada I acknowledge my settler privilege, and I undertake to show respect for the beautiful land I'm grateful to inhabit now.

Canada
Born in Toronto Ontario, I'm now fortunate enough to live on the west coast of Canada, and I'm completely in love with the natural environment around me. While my art is seldom a literal representation of my landscape, the natural world I walk through informs the textures, lines and colours in my work. I'm presenting a series of animal silhouette images, of Canadian wildlife, mostly west coast creatures, including Elk, Bear, Orca, Starfish, Deer, Bison, Beaver, Salmon and Cod. This series of silhouettes will be developed in a variety of medium, the 'Dropcloth' series uses backgrounds created using the paper that covers my work surface when I paint, and the 'Maps' series uses old paper maps used for motorcycle touring in Canada. The Pen and Ink series explores using black lines to define positive and negative space of animal silhouettes, by using lines represent textures of plants and also to outline the shapes of animals. The animal silhouette series has expanded to include trees and clouds, so the creatures have an environment. In 2022 I'm expanding my offerings with paintings as well as collages and drawings.
