BIOGRAPHY
Born Edmonton 1951 with twin brother David. Sister Trudy born 1958. Five months later, father dies. Five years later, mother dies. David and I sent to a brutal boarding school where I withdrew to imagine a better world. On graduation I came home and on a perfect day decided that there must be more to life than perfection. I descended the basement steps to find a little poster paint, a piece of paper, a jar of water, a brush, and fell into the act of painting. An image of Adam and Eve in the garden emerged like magic under my hand. "This is it" I said, "This is the door through which I can bring all my unexpressed longings, feelings and ideas, trapped inside me for years. I still paint that way, discovering rather than constructing images.
