NB. Visa and Mastercard accepted in my studio.

I recently travelled to England and France and saw some fabulous art including Michael Raedecker at the Camden Arts Centre (where I took pottery classes when I was 10 years old) who “uses a unique combination of thread and paint to create his atmospheric paintings.”

In Paris, I was particularly captivated by Alexander Calder’s wire portraits and sculptures at the Pompidou Centre. Watch video from minute 3:15 to 5:00 to get a sense of his use of line and shadow. (NB. the sound in the video is erratic so you may just want to watch on mute).

I also discovered a wonderful sculptor: Nicolas Lavarenne

I am pleased to announce that the four enormous glass pyramids of Edmonton’s unique botanical gardens—The Muttart Conservatory—have now been joined by a fifth pyramid. My first commissioned public sculpture was unveiled a few weeks ago at the Conservatory’s newly renovated entrance.

“It is not a complicated conceptual piece; even people not familiar with art can understand it. They can see the connections between the intricacies of a simple leaf structure and the inner workings of a city…”
Muttart Director Judith Rohovie

This project has had a significant effect on my art practice; to see some of my new designs in stone as well as etchings in mirror and glass please go to the engraving page of this website. If you would like to discuss how my new work could fit into any of your projects, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In 2000 and 2001, I participated in a number of collaborations with dancer/choreographer Simone Orlando and composer Scott Bishop. We created dance performances for 12 Minutes Max and Dancing on the Edge festivals in Vancouver as well as a projected image and video installation for the opening of the Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver.
