My artistic focus for the past several years is rooted in several expeditions to the North. I have travelled to northern Labrador with geologists and geographers, to Baffin Island with geologists, and to the Yukon with ecologists. Most recently, I was in Nunatsiavut's Torngat Mountains (northern Labrador) with geographers researching climate change. My most recent paintings spring from that experience generally, and from glacial landscapes and glacial melt specifically. The title of my solo exhibition at The Rooms in St. John's (2015–16), Never Melting Ice, is a literal translation of an Inuktitut word for "glacier."
My artistic influences include German Romanticism, Abstract Expressionism, and Earth Art. And although I work in the traditional genre of landscape, I am less interested in literal representation than in examining the natural physical environment as a vehicle for content, metaphor, and symbol. The dramatic terrains to which I am drawn — and which, in turn, I draw — are those that, for me, evoke the Sublime.
