North to Northwest: A Painting Journey through the Territories

Focus Gallery, September 4 - 26, 2020

It is always best to paint outdoors! My expressionistic oil paintings capture the strong shapes, tones, and colours of mountains, trees, foreground, and sky. Cezanne and the Group of Seven are two of my strongest influences.

I love to arrive at a beautiful scene and realize that this is the view I will paint today. I’m fortunate to have so many beautiful locations to choose from in the Yukon. I set up my easel and outline the main shapes of the scene before me. As I apply brushstrokes, I respond directly to the landscape and light before me. This process gives my paintings life.

The Northern Landscape always has an inspiration for me. I am privileged to have been able to explore and paint in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and the Yukon.
