In 2020 I celebrate 10 years as a professional artist, and I want to mark this landmark with a book. I feel incredibly lucky to do what I do, and to have people wanting to display my artwork in their homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
My artwork documents the feelings that I have had in places that are beyond description. Each piece aims to tell a simple story about the environment that surrounds me, about the viewpoints, about the unique conditions that I witnessed, and about the adventure. Whether painting on site, or in the studio I try to keep the story clear and compelling in my work.
This hardcover book will include high quality reproductions of over 100 paintings over 60 premium stock pages, and will travel from the mountains and coast of BC to the towering peaks of the Rockies, through the big skies of the prairies and down to the colour-saturated bliss of the Mexican Baja. It will also include a number of my gouache studies that are a key part of my process, and which have never been shown publicly before.
ORIGINAL GOUACHE STUDIES AS REWARDS
This could go way over budget, but then I’ll just have to sell more paintings to cover it. I’m doing this project, and it’s going to be awesome!
