Artist Bio
My career comprises of three intertwined strands; A 40 year architectural practice concentrated on design for First Nations,
A 30 year academic career including a professorship and administrative positions as Assistant Dean, Chair of Environmental Design and Interim Dean, Faculty of Design at
OCAD University, and an artistic career including courses taken in varying institutions as well as my own practice.
My artwork explores ideas of nature, beauty and the man-made world as well as their intertwined relationships. I like to play with collage, gel transfer prints and my photographic images of the world around me. I love the meditative act of stippling lines with nib and ink and exploring the extensive happy qqq in the decline of nature: the dying vines, flowers and leaves. Walking in the forest in the fall you are surrounded by incredible beauty, never mind just walking through the back alleys of west Hamilton. I find the skeletal remains of weeds and flowers, sometimes covered with small drifts of snow,
absolutely stunning.
My desire is to share the beauty, joy and comfort I find in nature, as well as share my awe and respect for nature.
Artist Statement
I have always been interested in why we are (I am) driven to create beauty in many forms and why it is so important in all of our lives. In the last few years climate change and the need to
address sustainability in our personal lives, as well as in our work, has concentrated my desire on demonstrating nature and our interactions with it, within my art and design. I have followed this interest in the teaching of my students, helping them learn to design space that provides joy and comfort, as well as respecting our part within nature, and our impact on it.
My artwork explores ideas of nature, beauty and the man-made world as well as their intertwined relationships. I like to play with collage, gel transfer prints, Japanese papers and my
photographic images of the world around me. I love the meditative act of stippling lines with nib and ink and exploring the extensive happy accidents of the ragged edges of gel transfers. I look for the beautiful patterns in nature and explore their juxtaposition with man-made objects as well as ourselves.
