Bearded Ibex is a multi/level work that came from a bit of a colour risk. I created the focused and determined Ibex on the 3 acrylic painted panels behind it, and for a little while it lived like that. One day, I was prepping the large gallery birch panel behind it and somehow they moved across my vision together as I carried the Ibex across the studio. The strong magenta made the Ibex dramatic and beautiful on the background. It had a presence before, and even more so now. The work isn’t for the passive and it grows on me daily. The Bearded Ibex is made from hand cut watercolour paper. The pieces that make it up have been mounted and raised off the background.

I am a self-taught visual artist, as well as a regularly published fiction writer and multi-optioned screenwriter. I’m grateful to have an international reach in all the arts I practice, as connecting to things and people outside my experience excites me and makes me happy. To me, life is mysterious and spiritual, and when it needs to be spoken of, I think art, any art, is the best language to speak about that mystery. I work with papers, acrylics and mixed medias, often in relief style where my works have the qualities of abstract painting, design, and sculpture all bound dramatically and beautifully together. I think this is the result of a night in Niagara Falls when I was 6 years old. Ask me about that if we meet in person.
