My work is about expressing architecture. I choose architectural themes that inspire and motivate my interest in the built environments around us. I work with a variety of materials to create painterly collage-like works that touch upon the historical. Much of my work begins as a scale paper model of a building cut, scored and detailed, then the 3-dimensional object is taken apart and use to create 2-dimensional compositions. I also explore architectural themes working with digital images and then combining manipulated compositions with a variety of materials.
I divide my time between Toronto, where I teach art, and my farmhouse in Prince Edward County, Ontario. My art-making is supported by my wife and daughter, and always at my side is my dog, Serena.
