(Wallaceburg)
I am a graduate of University of Windsor, B.F.A, painting major. My current work is concerned with layering our history on a surface. The jumping off point is usually an historical photograph of local people and their relationship to the land. As a person who has lived part of my life in Glasgow, Scotland and then emigrated to Wallaceburg, Canada, I feel a connection to historical images of people from the area and how they connected and adapted to the landscape.

This piece came about after working on an exhibit at the Wallaceburg Museum concerning the local history of sugar beet farming. Archival photographs of past times literally add a film over the present landscape. The images in the background are current and juxtapose with the historical images revealing current issues related to our area. $450
