I came to painting later in life, inspired by hues, transformations and experience, the shades of light and colour that accompany the sun and magnificent cloud formations that overlook my neighbours and I, casting rays and shades that reconstitute a daily beauty as unique as it is consistent in its passage over our unspoiled island home.
Prince Edward Island has always been my inspiration. My landscape paintings have varied from impressionistic to realistic with a minimalist representation, that, over time, has become something of a signature. Through solid bands of gradient colour, the work captures the island landscape’s essence, from the vivid blues, greens, reds, yellows, and shades of grey and brown that ebb with light and silently ignite the delight of those living and visiting here in their passion for Prince Edward Island’s landscape and art. My more recent minimalist paintings have been inspired by the works of Lawren Harris from the Group of Seven.
