I create public art using a variety of materials including engraved granite and backlit translucent panels. My artwork is effective in outdoor environments as well as interiors. I have participated in numerous collaborative projects and welcome the opportunity to work with municipalities, arts councils, architects, designers and developers. My training and background in materials technology, production control and industrial engineering are among the many assets I bring to public art projects. My first public art commission was “We Are Here” an engraved granite pyramid at the entrance to the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton, Alberta. My next piece “You Are Here” was installed for six months at the Brighouse Station of the Canada Line, on No. 3 Road in Richmond BC. “Hamilton Then and Now” my public art project for the Hamilton Community Centre in Richmond British Columbia was unveiled May 28th, 2011. It is made with the LEED approved material Corian with LED lighting.
“Public art has the power to energize and enhance our public spaces, make us think, and transform where we live, work, and play. It can be several stories high or bring attention to the pavement beneath our feet. It can inspire conversation and help calm our hurried lifestyles. It can also be controversial.” City of Victoria
