Award Winner

" The Trail Guide", is painted in mixed media, is 22"x 28" framed, and was inspired by the many Inukshuks that I've seen all over Canada and also at the 2010 Olympics.

Inukshuk, pronounced in-ook-shook, are stone monuments erected in the image of humans. One of their purposes was to communicate direction in the harsh and desolate Arctic. As such they were a tool for survival, and symbolic of the unselfish acts of a nomadic people - the Inuit - who built them as signposts to make the way easier and safer for those who followed.

It received an Honourable Mention at the Art in the Valley show on Oct. 16th, 2010

# 598, " Long Range Mountains ", mixed media, 28"x 34"

This contemporary piece of art combined with the detailed

work gives my paintings a nice contrast. Most of my

artwork created in this technique are modern

land and seascapes with a twist.

" VISIONS"
