What determines what an Artist would choose to create? It all depends on the composition of the artist. The things I have done in my life thus far, working in the bush of northern Canada, the canoe trips, back packing through Europe, going to University, my present life... everything is projected in my paintings. They are part of myself and of my life experiences. I have always been close to nature and I try to express nature's unbelievable beauty in my works. How precious it is and how important it is to preserve it.
