I studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and have stubbornly shed both the experience of art school and any ties to artistic movements, although I have never stopped looking at art. Years later, I am discovering an innate and comfortable sense of myself as an outsider artist.
My materials and methods serve my work process. Wood suits me. Scavenging suits me. Hard physical labour suits me. My current constructions are joined with resin. I build up shapes like fitting a puzzle together, guided by my sketches. A continuous process of adding then grinding away. The finished pieces are oiled and sometimes white-washed, then polished to a smooth but textured patina which reveals the underlying mosaic of wood. A sculpture can take anywhere from two weeks to three months to complete.
I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia and for a great part of my life I moved frequently until settling near a small French town, St. Eugene, Ontario, smack on the Quebec border.
