OCEAN, In Paint & Pixels opened on Sunday, June 10. Here we are at Metropolis Gallery.

Beginning as an homage to one sailing journey, this series grew into a passion. The ocean has always drawn me; through scuba diving, sailing and two seasons deck-handing on a West Coast gill-netter.

Each painting is a process of layering thin applications of oil paint, building colour over colour which creates depth and light. The immediacy is exhilarating. 

Seagrass meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Learning about the restoration and conservation of eel grass beds in the Salish Sea around Vancouver Island where I reside has opened my eyes to a deeper dimension in my paintings.

The exhibition continues through June 10-15, from 1-4pm daily.
