Drawing – Lonely Visitor
This drawing on cream paper is an exploration of the Crystal Island concept to include people. The figure creates a psychogeography of the landscape.
The landscape in this drawing was taken from reference photos of French River Provincial Park, an absolutely gorgeous place in Ontario, Canada. There are delicate tall pines and windswept shrubs and bushes along the shores of a rushing river, passing through a deep gorge. Despite the speed of the water and the constant wind, the place feels still and isolated and special.

Serpentinite Crystal Island
This gouache painting is about 7 x 9″ in size, on watercolour paper. It’s an exploration of the geological identity of some parts of Gros Morne National Park, in Newfoundland, Canada. The green serpentine crystals are growing from the granite and serpentinite mix of Gros Morne, specifically the Tablelands. The dark spruce and fir trees are silhouetted against distant hills and rolling fog. This piece is my love letter to that gorgeous park and the sense of magic it has.
