About the Piece:
The work Containers is an example of my continuing interest in preserves. The jam preserves the berries, but it also preserves the memories of the harvest. It brings back the summer, the hot kitchen, the communal labour that makes a sweet mid- winter snack possible. The silver container in the image is also a vessel that preserves. Containers like these often become treasure troves for the personal flotsam of our lives.

From There to Here
I suppose it all began with small blocks of wood. Dad would bring home odds and ends from the shop at school, and I'd play with them. I loved to make things, and still do. I didn't foresee a life as an artist from a young age. Growing up in a working-class family in rural New Brunswick there were no precedents to encourage such thoughts. During the early school years I was praised for some of my creative endeavours (a little encouragement can be a dangerous thing). In grade eight I developed rheumatic fever. I had to spend several months in hospital, and several more at home in bed. This was a world before cable television, and video games. I filled this time with drawing and painting. This interest continued. By the time high school rolled around, one of my favourite things to do on a Friday evening was to take the bus to Fredericton and visit the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Dali, Kreighoff, Colville, Pratt, Forrestall, ... became friends through these special outings. I enrolled at Mount Allison in the Fine Arts program in 1981. I loved my time at Mt. A. Not only did I get to stretch my artistic legs, but I met my wife there. After Mt. A. I went back to UNB and took a Bachelor of Education Degree. Since then I've been teaching art at the elementary and secondary levels, and continuing to create, and exhibit work. I now live in Charlottetown, PEI. with my wife, Sylvia, and our two children, Mark and Julia. -- and I still love to make things!
