'House on a Hill' is an oil semi abstract painting made after having a conversation with Northern Home 1915, the work of j.E.H. McDonald, the founder and eldest member of the Group of Seven. It was the dynamic value contrast in this colonized landscape of a home amidst a rocky landscape that inspired me. I listened to the voices of 100 years impressionistic painting and replied with a contemporary semi-abstract picture. I took the challenge of reformulating his work. I kept the subject matter, colour system and media but changed the techniques. I used flat shapes replacing forms, moved most elements around and changed their scales to achieve a fresh appearance on a textured canvas. I was excited by the challenging experience throughout the process and the surprising outcome. On canvas. 30”x 40”

'Yucca Flat' is an oil semi abstract landscape. Sketches were made in the Sonoran Desert. Finished in studio, Toronto, Canada. The Sonoran Desert's beautiful terrain, searing heat, intense light, whipping winds, irregular shape of clouds and travellers were the inspirations behind my art.
