Polar Perspectives

I

Excursions/work in Canada’s High Arctic (1988, 1991), to the Antarctic Peninsula (1999), and to Nunavut and Greenland (2006) have changed my life. My earlier polar artworks have been exhibited in solo exhibits in Quesnel, Smithers, Vancouver and Wells, B.C. as well as in Antofagasta, Chile. Selected works from "Polar Perspectives" were exhibited at the Groop Gallery in Prince George, B.C. commencing October 15, 2010. Please see Studio notes for details.

Following a 2006 polar journey I began developing the series, “Polar Perspectives”. The works are created using acrylic and oil paints to convey impressionistic images of Arctic shifting light and form. Often superimposed on the canvas is a kayak: an indicator of the change inherent in Inuit life. Images swirl of light and life-filled landscape, of animal and human populations in the face of ongoing challenges.
