About the show:
The rolling seasons of the prairies are my inspiration for this latest series of acrylic paintings. Pale blue flax flowers masquerading as a cool, calm northern ocean; the deep golden ochre heads of wheat bending, rolling in the wind; neon yellow canola against a storm dark sky – the colours, murmurs and clean aromas of nature are the background of my year. They inhabit and inform my art. Each season has its own blend of sensations - a glowing aspen forest in the brief frenzy of colour in September with crisp, fragrant leaves underfoot; the silent white snow and cobalt sky of winter; bird song and apple green of new spring leaves. My spirit is of the prairies.
