About this artwork
Over a decade ago I painted a series of The Four Elements. Over time, my paintings have shifted to focus more on water. I spend much time in, on or near water. In Cape Town, South Africa it is the Indian and Atlantic Oceans that inspire me and in Canada it is the many beautiful rivers and Great Lakes and now the West Coast. Here I observe the interplay between light and water, water and sky. It is mesmerizing. It is brilliantly beautiful. The ebb…
and flow of water provides me with a continuously changing picture. I observe what happens on its surface, how it varies, how light plays on it, how its moods change.
I make use of reflection to abstract or distort reality. It is through the water that recognizable objects become transmuted. There is a transformation that occurs and new objects and shapes appear. Something is born in the water, something greater than the sum of its parts. This process is a celebration. I encourage you to celebrate with me.

« I live to create and quickly enter a meditative zone while creating. Being in this zone is serene, peaceful and tranquil. It is what I imagine spiritual enlightenment to be. And so the creative process is food for my soul. »
