In 2007 I attended a workshop in California and experimented with acrylics on wood panel. In my current work I have proceeded further in my exploration of this medium and I find it to be extremely exciting and thoughtful. I find myself intrigued by the layered application of form, colour and texture. And then through various methods of going back into the surface, I search for the original marks. I relate this to our attempts to retrieve memories in hoping to recall emotions. In my experience, what we remember isn’t necessarily what actually occurred, but rather what our minds allow us see. This process reveals to me more than I could possibly have planned.

These works were exhibited along with paintings by Verne Busby and Cindy Delpart at the Hotel Arts in Calgary, Alberta
