Artist & Silkscreen Printer

I create Serigraph images of Newfoundland. Each print is hand made by me in my studio, near St. John's, Newfoundland.
I hope you enjoy my site!

"Dunluce"

Above is the Artist Proof for Dunluce, it is a Heritage home in St. John's.

This is the first in my series of Heritage Houses. The prints will all be of the same size, but will be four different houses in the four seasons.

"The Lloyd George House "

The Lloyd George House is the second in my Heritage House Series. It is located in Dildo and was featured on my 1995 calendar. The original drawing showed the house in winter, but I decided to warm up the painting and have decided to show the house in summer. Lupins are on the property, so I have chosen to add them to the image.

I plan to have the print finished for the The Fine Craft & Design Fair 2007, Nov 9-11th, at the St. John’s Convention Centre.

"Old Lilacs in Noggin Cove"

The Edition is now complete. I have made numerous changes from the Artist Proof. The major change is I have opened up the bushes so you can see the harbour. For more on the evolution of this print, see my page on Silkscreen Printing.

New Library Cards

At left is my design for the Newfoundland and Labrador Public Libraries Card. This is my first design for a card with a bar code. It was a fun project and features my dog Holly on the right and Todger a wonderful Newfoundland female on the left.

The library has given me and my family many hours of reading pleasure. When my Mother was no longer able to read, the library kept her supplied with talking books. These audio books allowed Mommy to continue enjoying "reading", long after her sight had failed. It was my pleasure to donate my design for the new card.

The 2006-07 kindergarten students are the first people in the province to receive the new cards. On December 15, 06 I had the great honour and pleasure of giving my grand niece Leah Kenny her first library card! I can only hope Leah inherits the love of reading, that has come down through the previous generations. There is nothing quite like a good book!

Web Design

I have just finished a site for a long time friend Gill Campbell. Gill (Gillian) now lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia. While she lived in Newfoundland, we became good friends with many interests in common. I was thrilled when she asked me to work on her web site! I knew Gill wasn't afraid of colour and trying new things. We had a great time designing her site together. We renewed our friendship and found we are still compatible creatively. Gill is an amazing cook. If you only ever take one recipe off of the internet, I recommend her Hot and Cheese Cornbread. It's the best!
