Slug The majestic Banana Slug is a uniquely recognizable resident of the coastal rain forest on Vancouver Island and the mainland coast. They come in different shades that generally resemble a banana in colour, and they grow to several ounces in size. A distinctive local sight where I live, nearly all year round, although they are more easily seen in the wet parts of the year. Their distinctive silhouette is an important part of this series of west coast wildlife. This is a digital image created from an analogue source, the silhouette of a slug is cut out of a piece of paper which is laid over a 'drop cloth' style abstract painting. The 'dropcloth' background is made from the sheets of paper I cover my work surface with, and they start out as a literal drop cloth to catch the paint that spills, drips and runs off other things I paint. Bubble wrap monoprinting is included in many of the dropcoth backgrounds as a reminder of the dangers of plastic to the natural environment. The cut out animal and the drop cloth are then combined in various ways on my scanner to create this series of animal silhouettes. The series includes a variety of west coast wildlife of both land and sea, large and small.

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.
