My work engages the concerns and material of painting, colour, form and light. These in themselves, have deep and resonant transformative powers. The monkeys enable me to play with both imagination and memory through a symbol that is equally majestic and mischievous, social yet natural and most importantly just plain fun. Despite the ups and downs of our existence, these works are a celebration of life. Spiritually they find themselves like Vancouver, at the meeting and merging of Western and Eastern philosophical viewpoints. Taoism meets Quantum. They are paintings of and for the 21st century.
