My work is about people, their unique natures and talents, alone or in groups. That spark of life. I am currently looking at the nature of play. Because my project 'Let's Play' is about young children I will not be putting those images on the web. There will be a show and a book. Always expressive, I study people from all angles. Their exterior, as well as, their personality, thoughts and actions. How they express their personality through their actions (movement and handwriting) and how they impact the space around them.

 

These ideas may be expressed directly as portraits:

Budge Wilson, Before Anne of Green Gables, (author photo)
Maureen Hull, A View from a Kite, (author photo)
Terrific Women, Craig Gallery, Dartmouth, Mar 2004 (B&W portraits with text)
Invisible Women, Gallery 78 Fredericton, Mar 2002 (B&W portraits with text)

 

 

Or by the use of a metaphor using flowers:

Hope, Craig Gallery, Dartmouth, Mar 2009 (flowers as a metaphor for people with Parkinsons)
Identity, May 2007, ViewpointGallery ( flowers abstracted to illustrate personality)
Friends, Woodlawn Public Library, Dartmouth, Feb 2006 ( flowers as friends alone and in groups)
