Since my first painting, a portrait of my dog when I was eight, the
nuances of living tissue have fascinated me. The Ontario College of
Art taught me the fundamentals of life drawing and the basics of
sculpting the human form.
My earlier work concentrated on capturing all the parts of the
anatomy to create "the picture". Now I work to capture "the feeling"
in as few strokes as possible.
In my three dimensional work I have experimented with bronze,
aluminium, wood, metal, plastic, natural fibre and stone. Recently I
have developed a technique using a modern industrial compound
- Engineered Stone. This material allows me to produce very large,
relatively lightweight sculptures, at a reasonable price.
Consequently all of my existing pieces in this medium have been
sold.
