Artist's Statement
Living and working at the very entrance to
Wells Gray Park in Central British Columbia, allows me to draw upon an endless
source of inspiration. Through personal involvement and intimate study, I
strive to honour the elemental spirit inherent in all things. I hope to invite
contemplation through a reverent and humble approach to my subjects. Through
these examples of my works I hope to describe my development as an artist and
craftsman.
