PREFACE

In 2002 I was asked by a producer for CBC radio (the largest National radio station in Canada) to create a 2 minute sound piece, depicting what the events of September 11th sounded like to me.

"A summary of my artistic practice:
I look out and in to paint the space in between."

I began working on "Angel Azrael" soon after the events of 9/11 and as I expanded, so did the vision and the message in this painting. I completed her over the course of 12 years. The foreground of this work is colored pencil on vellum.

This series of works are a search by me for the meaning of life and an effort to try and see beyond this life to what may lie beyond in the next stage of this amazing journey which we are all taking, and which is full of mystery and spiritual wonders.<
