I am a multi media artist and refer to my work as "The pursuit of balance", referring not only to the balancing of rocks and space, but also painting and photography. "The Pursuit of Balance" practice began in 1986, creating balanced, temporal, natural rock sculptures 'in situ' at Remic Rapids Park in downtown Ottawa. The work began innocently and without a goal or intention, but by 1989, Canada Arts Council supported the project, encouraging me to pursue the project further. Since 2000, the project has been supported and funded by the National Capital Commission, which has allowed the work to evolve without compromise or legal concerns. Residential and commercial rock sculptures projects are also available and are approached with the same principles of balance and harmony, but are assembled in a permanent and stable condition. Painting is an equally important passion. The paintings are fauvist is nature, but like the sculptures, are created entirely by hand. Painting by hand allows a direct contact to the form and colour, while referring to information realized from the sculptural practice. Photography has also evolved with the new media technology, allowing for the production of lithographic-like prints on watercolour paper. This work refers to 'non silver' gum dichromate printing which is another expression of balance between watercolour painting and photography.
