The Beach Comber (36"x36")

odoodem.jpg

Odoodem (48"x36")

$2700

Odoodem is an Algonquian word for totem, “his kinship group” describing a family or a clan.

Totem commemorate ancestry, histories, people, or events and is this regard are comparable to a family coat of arms.  Totems can signify beings, or spiritual animals, a family's lineage to validate the status a family (or tribe) held.  I had the honour to observe totem carvers at work while visiting Haida Gwaii.  In my depiction they are strange spirits existing in primordial rainforests. 

water music.JPG

Water Music (36"x24")

$2700

Among my favorite classical works is Handel's Water Music.  This unusual figure appeared as Handel's music floated in my mind.

This manifestation can be seen as a metaphor of our connection to earth, to water, we are composed mostly of water. Our existence is possible because of water. 

The dissolving image might suggest our natural processes, that we exist because of water, and will return to water as we recycle back into the soil.

In The Eye of the Hurricane (36"x36")

$2200

The storms that circle us all offer a moment of peace and calm, when we enter eye of that storm. 

For each of us that experience is very different.

Queen of the Seas (36"x48")

$2700

A glowing figure of liquid colour, glowing with peace and presenting a welcoming gesture to the viewer, inviting them into another world.

As we are made of water, we shall return to water.

a%20scream.jpg

A Scream (36"x24")

$2700

That moment where we express a deep, ancient "animalistic" scream.

Heartland

Heartland (36"x36")

$2200

Heartland, a universal physical idea of place and "home" while also a metaphysical expression to represent the "beating heart" of what is essential for our happiness and even life itself.

Is it even possible for a painting to express this special experience of human existence?

transiting.jpg

Transiting (36"x48")

$2200

Of human journeys...where do we come from...where do we go...?

This existential experience is a gravity that binds us to an unknowable fate, where the constant of time pulls us into fates I think of as "transiting"...movement from dimension to dimension, a cycle that cannot be slowed or stopped or comprehended, except for what is clearly evident...we are always in motion as this transiting process continues in its never-ending cycle.

We meet, we know each other, but our singular journey leads us away to stations unknown. 

slipping+away.jpg

Slipping Away (36"x36")

$2900

Slipping Away...a fading away, loss of control, the speeding away of memory, minds, lost souls and loved ones.​

Slipping Away is an acknowledgement that we and everything slips away finally, be it memories, people, health, life.  Nevertheless it is in our nature to struggle against that inevitable fate.   

An inspiration for me is this amazing music:

Slipping Away · by Max Merritt · The Meteors

worlds away.jpg

Worlds Away (30"x40")

$3000

Feeling worlds away is that universal experience of needing to be closer, more connected and engaged, and yet feeling distant from others, and perhaps distant from our true ourselves.

Everything and everyone around us can feel impossibly distant and "worlds away.
