The concrete path forks as it bisects the natural world around it. However, the assumed control exerted over the grandeur of nature is fickle.

The structural forms fragment the frame and instill movement, disrupting the conventional geometric configuration of wall-mounted artwork.

The unadulterated beauty of nature is often challenging to capture on a simple canvas, as the resonating memory is fragile. Inspired by the sun's rays after a summer storm at Bon Echo Provincial Park, the connection and reverence with the earth I felt at that moment is one I wanted to share with you.

The image of the forest parted by the road exemplifies the complicated relationship we have with the Canadian landscape.

The dark undergrowth encompasses the entirety of the canvas. The influence of man has failed to impose on the unrestrained woodland.

This is the third sketch created at my outdoor studio this Summer. I set up an outdoor studio, at Bon Echo Provincial Park for 23 days, with all of my equipment so that I could work on location without returning to my studio to finish my paintings. The photo was taken about 100 meters from where I created this painting.

This Summer while camping for 2 months, I set up an outdoor studio with all of my equipment so that I could work on location without returning to my studio to finish my paintings. This is one of the first paintings created totally outdoors on location. The photo is about 100 meters from where I created this painting.

In this painting, I hope to convey the beauty of nature and by using non-rectangular stretchers I allow the scene to expand beyond the frame.

This painting is what I have been aiming for since I started working to incorporate my photography with my acrylic painting approximately 10 years ago. This whole painting is done on regular canvas which I use to paint on. Previously I would blend painted canvas with printed canvas, introducing acrylic paint onto the printed canvas. Now I'm able to print straight onto what I paint. This enables me to truly blend the photo with the painting so that the viewer doesn't perceive where the photo starts and the painting begins. It is truly exciting for me to see how the painting changes the photo and how the photo changes the painting to become something totally new.

This painting is one of my fragmented memories of remembrance from my childhood. This series called "Hutě" was inspired by my trip last summer to the Czech Republic where I revisited where I lived as a young boy. At that time the steelworks, just outside of Ostrava, now decommissioned, were the hart beat off the region. As I walked threw the acres of derelict factories I remembered when the night sky would turn red as the steelworks were throwing out the red hot slag. At that moment I wanted to capture that fragment of my memory.

Hutě — Sketch #2 is one of the sketches in the Hutě series I'm working on triggered by my trip to the Czech Republic last August. And as I walked through through the decommissioned steelworks, just outside of Ostrava a city in the north of Moravia, I decided to capture the memory from my childhood. I recall when the night sky would turn red as the steelworks were throwing out the red hot slag. Looking at what is now a museum and entertainment center I decided to capture that memory.

The fourth painting in the "Hutě" series of my fragmented memories of remembrance of my childhood. Coming upon this huge derelict structure, in the huge industrial heritage site with its abandoned furnaces, I wondered what ghosts were roaming behind the dark windows.

The sculpted canvases are handmade and unique to this artwork. It is Mixed Media through the integration of elements found within sculpture, painting, and photography. The two media used are acrylic and digital printing.

"Hutě—Let it flow" is the second painting from a series I’m working on, called “Hutě”. It is the memories from my childhood when I was growing up in the Czech Republic in north Moravia in the city called Havířov. What I remember vividly are the nights when the steelworks were throwing out the red hot slag and the night sky glowed red and orange through my widow, although this was 10 to 15 kilometers away. This painting, just like the previous one, is Mixed Media, photography, and acrylic on shaped canvas. Size: 54 x 49 x 5 inches, 137 x 124 x 13 cm.

"Hutě—Delivered" is the third painting from a series I’m working on, called “Hutě”. It is the memories from my childhood when I was growing up in the Czech Republic in north Moravia in the city called Havířov.

This painting is my next step toward a minimalistic approach to my work. I'm looking at my photo and cutting it down to the main subject, the lone tree. As support, I wanted just pure clean, and flat color. To achieve this I had to airbrush my background. Due to the size and airbrushing, I had to work outside in my backyard. This ended up being challenging. Usually, I'm not worried about things falling into the paint as I work outside a lot, but this time I needed a clean environment. I was amazed at the amount of my dog hare that was in the air and at one point my dog managed to walk across the canvas as it was drying on the ground. Thankfully I was able to take out the prints and with 20 more coats, there is no trace of my dog's handy work—just mine.

If you are in nature, this crane is our companion. Sometimes seen majestically soaring across the river or just sitting patiently in hiding waiting for a meal. Hiding in Plain Sight is another piece in my Companion Series.

The inaugural piece of The Companion Series was inspired by the family dog.

The moments that you are forced to leave a pet behind are the hardest. Even though your return is imminent, the feeling of longing is reciprocated.

This is a tribute piece to Emily, a rescue with a gentle soul and a heart of gold who became a central part of the family. Very much missed, she is never forgotten.

Inspired by our pet’s mischievous nature of walking on my unfinished canvases. I attempted to recreate the paw prints in a controlled manner through repeated experimentation and bribery (cat treats). The impressions left on this canvas reflect the impressions our companions leave with us.
