VIEW EXHIBITIONS

"I made these pieces at my studio in the woods, on rural Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

It is my hope that the works present themselves in a way that makes you feel encouraged, that offer simple entry into something new, and invite you to take a fresh look, to enjoy being in that moment.

The materials are rusted 1/8” steel plate with hand cut-outs filled with pigmented resin

I can’t tell you what it is, I can only show you what I saw in the moment.

Special thanks to Sue and Alan Ravitz for providing the opportunity to show my recent work at 57W57 ARTS.

Their generosity in creating this special venue for artists is greatly appreciated and needed.

Thanks also to Paolo Halaguena for the his time and thoughtfulness in organizing and making these exhibitions happen."
