Last fall in 2009, at Collective Works Gallery in Victoria, I exhibited several five foot by six foot photographs of my installation project which I had placed in Beacon Hill park. Each photograph featured a low alter like stand below set with a candle to represent the young men and women who have died in Afghanistan.
The work was also exhibited at the Gracefield Art Center in Scotland in the summer of 2009.

Price: $8,000.00 (Sold)

I have always enjoyed hiking in the Black Tusk, Garibaldi Meadows near Whistler Mountain. The area is pristine and pure and yet so close. It is a long hike up through the trees but worth the effort once you strike out into the upper meadow. One day up to the campsite. One day up to the Black tusk itself ….for an old man anyway:)
