Projects

 I started with a grandiose obsession on how to replicate the moving

of  ocean water as two high incoming tides flooded the inlet each day.

And on its quiet surface were to be hundreds of wild geese.

The Gathering mural project resulted in the completion of seven panels of murals; two diptychs and one triptych. Collectively, they pay tribute to the cultural contributors in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside,  a community that is frequently characterized by its tragedies rather than successes.  The murals make steps towards shifting that perception by highlighting the community’s cultural leaders and their strengths, and accomplishments. These works provide a compassionate, ‘time-capsule’ lens on the past and present.

From the early 1900s to the late 1960s, the East Side neighborhood of Strathcona was home to Vancouver’s first and only black community.  
The ten video stories of Black Strathcona (2014) celebrate some of the people and places that made the community vibrant and unique.

The Elusive Landscape: A Canadian Collaboration

The Big Print Project 2014 (a joint initiative with New Leaf Editions and C3 Society) was an event designed to highlight printmaking as a dramatic public event. Drawing attention to the potential of large-scale wood-relief prints, it brought together a group of well-known artists as well as mentored artists in creating a suite of woodcuts.
