Artist Statement

My interpretation of “Elemental Art” is working with the elements. The substrate of my work is all wood panels, some as old as 200 years, hand-picked grains to depict movement in the sky or the water of the landscape/lakescape.

I use water-based custom colour stains which have been watered down to appreciate the grain of the wood.

I sculpt the wood to give the piece more dimension and texture, then may burn the wood prior to the staining process, hand sculpted trees some using a pyrography technique.

Many pieces may also have rock minerals integrated in the work sourced from the Miskwaa Zibii (Red River), some may also have a glow effect, most are then finished with a UV protected durable clear epoxy resin that catches and reflects light sources.

Restroom facilities will be available to the public
