::: I am a self-taught, self-representing Canadian artist and have been painting and drawing since I was a small child.

::: My paintings are a culmination of intense emotion, passion, and need for self-expression. My paintings reflect the beauty of Earth's Landscapes. My paintings capture abstract thoughts and ideas using geometrical as well as organic shape and form.

::: I choose to work with Acrylic Paint because unlike oil paintings, Acrylic paintings will not bleach and become discolored over time - the colors stay true forever. Acrylic paint is very durable, keeping your investment in perfect condition forever.

::: My paintings can be found in Private and Corporate collections in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Greece, Russia, Denmark, Portugal, Cyprus, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland.

::: My artwork entitled 'Living In Harmony' was chosen by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission and the City of Saskatoon to be printed and widely distributed as an inspirational poster which represents the recognition of cultural diversity, in an effort to further the elimination of racial discrimination all over the world.

::: Below is an example of a painting I donated for a Breast Cancer Awareness silent auction. My paintings have helped raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis treatment, Parkinsons Research, Arthirits Prevention, Breast Cancer Awareness and many local organisations, such as the Food Bank and several School Programs. To discuss a donation of art, please email me.

On September 24th 2011, one of my paintings will be up for silent auction to raise money for The Diabetes Association. The Steak Night will be held at Rodeo's here in Saskatoon, and I will post the time asap, along with a photo of my painting. For more information contact Joanne Dudiak. Please read her mission letter:

I have joined Team Diabetes, a team of people from across Canada who
will be crossing the finish line together and who have raised funds to
support the more than 9 million Canadians living with diabetes or
pre-diabetes. I will be on the course of the 2012 Rio Marathon.

One of the greatest contributions of the Canadian Diabetes Association
is toward outstanding Canadian research. But that is not all the
Association does - it runs camps for young people with diabetes and
provides education and special services to people affected by diabetes
in communities across Canada.

As I participate in this event, your support will help me be strong all
the way to the finish line. A donation for each kilometer is suggested,
but whatever you can contribute matters - it all adds up!

If you want to support my mission, please click

Thanks again!

::: My mixed-media painting entitled 'Italian Life Traffic' was purchased in '04 by a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and is displayed and discussed each year in classes. Below is the Poem by Mina Loy that inspired the painting.

Italian Pictures - The Costa San Giorgio by Mina Loy

We English make a tepid blot
On the messiness
Of the passionate Italian life-traffic
Throbbing the street up steep
Up up to the porta
Culminating
In the stained frescoe of the dragon-slayer

The hips of women sway
Among the crawling children they produce
And the church hits the barracks
Where
The greyness of marching men
Falls through the greyness of stone
Oranges half-rotten are sold at a reduction
Hoarsely advertised as broken heads
BROKEN HEADS and the barber
Has an imitation mirror
And Mary preserve our mistresses from seeing us as we see
ourselves
Shaving
ICE CREAM
Licking is larger than mouths
Boots than feet
Slip Slap and the string dragging
And the angle of the sun
Cuts the whole lot in half

And warms the folded hands
Of a consumptive
Left outside her chair is broken
And she wonders how we feel
For we walk very quickly
The noonday cannon
Having scattered the neighbour's pigeons

The smell of small cooking
From luckier houses
Is cruel to the maimed cat
Hiding
Among the carpenter's shavings
From three boys
--- One holding a bar ---
Who nevertheless
Born of human parents
Cry when locked in the dark

Fluidic blots of sky
Shift among roofs
Between bandy legs
Jerk patches of street

Interrupted by clacking
Of all the green shutters
From which
Bits of bodies
Variously leaning
Mingle eyes with the commotion

For there is little to do
The false pillow-spreads
Hugely initialed
Already adjusted
On matrimonial beds
And the glint on the china virgin
Consummately dusted

Having been thrown
Anything or something
That might have contaminated intimacy
OUT
Onto the middle of the street
