FINE ART
Since 1972 I have produced artwork for public exhibition. I have worked in pen and ink, watercolour, acrylic, photography and silkscreen. I have taken part in many group and solo exhibitions.

I am currently working on non-objective digital artwork produced entirely on computer in Adobe Photoshop. I use the Iris Giclee process to produce limited editions of the images. This work offers me the opportunity to explore themes of personal interest and experiment with new techniques.

PERFORMANCE (ILLUSTRATED CONCERTS)
From 1978 to 1992 I performed illustrated concerts drawing life-sized cartoons to the music of symphony orchestras across Canada and internationally. These concerts were designed to increase accessibility of classical works for young people and the adult Òpops concertÓ audience. I worked closely with orchestra music directors to ensure the illustration reflected the themes and mood of the works and was closely choreographed to the tempo.
