The Rising
acrylic on canvas 72” X 48”
I’m pleased to present my most recent painting. The Rising is based on my firm belief that our earliest instincts (aside from food, shelter and survival) include scratching images into the dirt and onto cave walls, pounding out rhythms on hollow logs and dancing around fires. Art, spiritualism and magic defined our earliest ancestors search for who we are and why we are here. Sadly, throughout our history, we have slowly assigned less and less importance to these primal instincts and, as a result, the world around us has become more grey and uncertain. The Rising is a painting about us and who we’ve always been -- emerging from ignorance to light. It's a painting about hope.

Kelley's Move
acrylic on canvas 72" X 48"
Kelley McKinlay is in his 15th season with Alberta Ballet. Not only is Kelley a remarkable and seasoned dancer he is also a true lover of the arts. For the many years that I have known Kelley he has always taken an interest in my artistic efforts, graciously answered my many questions, posed for sketches and patiently explained the subtleties of movement in dance. This is my third painting of Kelley.and hopefully there will be more to come. This painting represents Kelley completing a Corsair Jump -- from the highest point of the jump to the strength and solidity of the. landing. Strength, fluid motion, discipline and artistry all define Kelley. What an honour to paint him.

Chassé Coupé Jeté acrylic on canvas 48" X 72"
Happy New Year everyone! I'm very excited to present my first painting of 2017 -- a portrait of Alberta Ballet artist Nicole Caron. This is my third painting of Nicole and it's so easy to be inspired by her energy and enthusiasm. Nicole is a beautiful dancer who brings an electricity and vibrancy to her performances that never fails to capture the attention of the audience. Although this is primarily a portrait of Nicole, the subject of the painting centres on Nicole's favourite dance move. Chassé Coupé Jeté represents the sequence of positions that translate as movement throughout the piece -- but it's Nicole's joyful presence that brings it to life.
