I’ve painted more than 200 works, completed 11 social art projects, and staged hundreds of outdoor and indoor art shows across Alberta—from the hiking trails along Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park to Edmonton City Hall and the Alberta Legislature, where I continue to practice creative free press and share my stories.
My 2026 project, XLife, Left Stage, Exit Right: Free from Artifice, extends the arc of my 2025 Birds of a Feather project on Faith, Democracy, and Nature, and my 2024 project, The Rosehip, White Rose: Vitamin C, Seed of Love. Each year’s work builds on the last, forming a living archive of civic‑pop storytelling, ecological attention, and democratic participation.
As I move forward, I plan to return to these past social art projects—and beyond—to a lifelong passion for painting and telling my stories. My practice of free press remains rooted in public space, shared experience, and the belief that art can be a form of community‑building and generational unity, shaped by the simple acts of kindness, sharing, and listening.

Quick-Drawn Conclusion from the Alberta 31st Legislature
🌿 Three Grazing Takahē in the Rocky Mountain Grass. Paint was added outside the Alberta Legislature on April Fool's Day and inside Edmonton City Hall on Good Friday. April is Takahē Awareness Month in New Zealand. Tribute painting to Chicago's Virgil Abloh, 2019, Figures of Speech, Unified, Red Zipper Train began with two Cree brothers adding paint inside the infamous BLM Pekiwewin homeless encampment.
Three takahē wander the Rocky Mountain grass as if they’ve slipped through a seam in the world—ancient, blue‑green, and unhurried. In Māori folklore, the takahē were once thought to be messengers from the deep valleys, birds who carried the memory of the land itself. When they vanished, people believed they had simply stepped into the mist to rest. But the takahē returned—quietly, stubbornly, beautifully—reminding us that some stories refuse to end. Microsoft AI
🎨 Pop Pop Dazzled by Every Day and Abstracts of Light and Shadows presents a découpé visual narrative cut-up on YouTube(s). A look into the past to glimpse the future unknown. I’ve interlaced recent and archived citizen-free news stories with layered sounds and visuals. This process births a new art form, crafting fresh narratives through the cut-up technique.
