A unique artistic voice
A Canadian artist living and working in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
What I do
Painting
Usually with acrylic and/or oil. I move freely between the figurative and expressionistic colour and texture experiments. Many of my works contain encoded "messages in a bottle" for the like-minded, cultural references that have taken on the character of a symbolic language for me. Sometimes wistful or even melancholy. I like to explore the quiet, the contemplative and sometimes the uncanny and the absurd.
Printmaking
Presently working mainly with linoleum. I mainly do portraits in single print black and white, or nudes from my life drawing sessions. I enjoy the "Handwerk", the concentrated work with (sharp!) tools and the meditative, rhythmic calm of making the prints.
Collage
Strange, a little garish, puzzling. I create compositions with mixed media, paint, ink, textiles, paper, photos. Whatever seems most appropriate for the work. These are often my most intriguing little creatures.
Gallery
My gallery is by no means exhaustive. Have a look at it, immerse yourself in the breadth and experimentation of my work and sense what fascinates my customers. If you can't find what you're looking for, let me know. I'm happy to help and introduce you to other works.
