I am a visual artist in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. In the past two years I have embarked on a series of new work that is quite different from my previous work, of the past twenty years.
I want to use this blog to present exploratory works in progress and to comment on works I have seen, what I am reading, and materials I am using.
