Dance is one of the oldest forms of human expression. Ever since humanity initiated the rituals which were to ensure its survival, people have swayed and moved to the rhythms of music, using their bodies to appease the gods and to express their joys and sorrows. And later, in dark and hidden caves, their marks on the stone walls became the earliest form of visual art.
The purpose of this series is to express the marriage of these two basic, non-verbal human activities, dance and painting, There is an additional element explored in these works: the long tradition of aesthetics, the need for beauty which is intrinsic to our humanity, as consistently expressed through millenia of artistic endeavour.

Article
I have been working for over 40 years, exhibiting in Canada and abroad. I work in series, developing new ideas over a period of 2 to 10 years, always searching for new challenges. For the past 3 years I have returned to the figure and am currently working on a series of mixed media dancing figures.
At this moment I am also exploring the medium of clear mylar and plexiglass.
I am interested in content as well as form.
