"I wanted to paint both the finite and the infinite."
Beach Debris is a series of landscape photographs detailing items found washed ashore along Lake Ontario.
The items, such as balloons and plastic bottles, intrude on the sand, rock, snow and ice. The invented colours of man-made objects interpose themselves on the natural palette of nature. The photographs invite the viewer to ponder the history of the synthetic objects and to examine the impact of consumerism on the environment.

project statement: natural events 2007-2008
In the “natural events” series, I explore the relationship between nature and consciousness. I photograph the details of plant life, depicting the dynamic and rhythmic nature of the universe.
A photograph records an event, a moment in space in time. I choose events that depict a balance of creation and destruction of plant life. The many layers of detail emphasizes the history of events. The cyclic nature of life is infinite and the layering of plants reveals that fact.
Landscapes of tangled branches and various plants reflect the pre-conscious mind. Through my art I push the boundaries of what subject “is” and where it originates. It is history and mystery - culture and nature.
