Paintings and screenprints
Okaka Sunrise
This is a painting that combines two moments that were 15 minutes apart. I climbed Humpridge over Te Waewae Bay to Okaka Lodge and waited for sunrise. We are looking south from the southern most part of the South Island of New Zealand towards the Antarctic.
This is a sketch of the alder and maple trees on the Point Grey shoreline.
Sketching helps me think about basic shapes and colours.

I did these two sketches of the arbutus in Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver. They helped me paint “Arbutus”.

These are the colours for Spawning Salmon
These are the colours I used to screen print Spawning Salmon. They are a triad of brighter colours on a dulled yellow ground. Orange dominates this pattern. with blue and green accents. Triadic colour schemes use colours that are evenly spaced on the colour wheel. Vibrant colours can be used in harmony. This particular triad is a tertiary triad.
