| ARTISTIC STATEMENT |
| My active engagement in painting took hold in my mid forties. Although the twenty years succeeding this time were stagnant in my painting productivity, they were not wasted. Those years of incubating creativity and of constant observation brought me to the present, when the dormant roots for my passion for painting have again sprouted. Experiences of summer seasons in the Laurentians northwest of Montreal have been a constant source of motivation and passion behind my canvases. Stemming from these favourable memories comes my feeling of freedom when being outdoors. I appreciate nature in its chaos and constant state of motion. Yet, there is an air of tranquility in many of my canvases. Nature, therefore, in its seasonal dress, constitutes the principle theme and inspiration behind most of my canvases. Painting "en plein air" is always preferred! The interpretation of light through the use of colour variations, as well as my quick and carefree brush strokes, delineate my perspective of nature. Frequently, trees and water are present in my compositions. The quick pace at which I work a canvas makes the use of acrylic a perfect medium. I believe in the evolutionary process, and trust the challenges that confront me with each fresh canvas. As a native Montrealer, I am proud to be a part of this city's artistic community. |
