Spring 2018 I began a new body of work based on photos taken in Vancouver’s urban parks and lakes. I was looking to keep a limited palette and used a similar technique to the Iqaluit series: thin washes of oil paint on panel. I chose early spring to keep the palette quiet, calm and slightly dreary to intensify the hints of colour in the landscape.

I have some small paintings in Chali Rosso Gallery’s Art Sale and Live Auction this week.

I’ve finished my Iqaluit series and am now spending the next few weeks making up proposal packages and sending them out to galleries. I’ve also updated my “Paintings” page so that all the paintings in the series can be seen here.

Dedicated drawing club was formed by Toni Latour and me in 2011. Meeting on a regular basis over a three year period, we came together to produce drawings that act as homages and dedications to people in their lives. Our exhibition at the Capilano University Library in North Vancouver comes down on June 12th and will be reinstalled at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey on June 30th. Check out our website for more details on our upcoming book and merchandise. dedicateddrawingclub.com
