Dandelions (2005-2006)

I have been fascinated by the lowly (?) and misunderstood Dandelion. These paintings were inspired by dandelions in the ravine behind my home in South Edmonton. (A ravine which is sadly being eroded by the construction of a highway). Dandelion leaves collected from the area (and specially cultivated in my garden!) have been used as stencils and for printing on heavily textured canvas. The plants have been depicted as shy and fragile, mysterious or bold or screamingly angry!

Summer Diary (2005)

These small paintings were created in the spring and summer of 2005. Inspiration comes from the vegetation from my garden and nearby ravine behind my home. A ravine that is sadly being eroded by the construction of a highway.
