Canoe Series #44

      This is the 44th sculpture in my Canoe Series. You will notice the edition number and my signature engraved on the back of the glass canoe. My Canoe Series started with a small edition of six in 2016, and there are now a total of forty-five in the growing edition. Number 44 was created in 2022, and it is the very first time in the Canoe Series that I have ever added a heron by attaching it to a foreground root. This gives the impression of it fishing quietly in front of the island. (I usually feature herons in my sculptures where the island is surrounded by water glass) The stone that I selected for this piece comes from the beautiful Muskoka region in central Ontario. I hope that it reminds you of paddling on your favourite lake or river whenever you view it. The piece, with its red canoe, really “comes to life” when placed by a window, but you probably already have a location in mind for it.

  • Algonquin Embers

    Darkness descends on all who dwell here. Silhouettes emerge from granite pedestals set on fluid plains, but one stands out as a visitor to this primal land. Light ignites in feathery plumage dividing a placid sky. Ribbons curl on Eastern breezes, scattering celestial diamonds for all to see. Protect this place. Embrace its warmth and special gifts. Let its soul burn within you like Algonquin embers.

  • Secrets of the Wetlands

    Look below the surface and discover a world unknown to those who pass by in haste. Skimming over life’s tapestry rewards few, but searching and opening oneself to self-discovery and endless possibilities enrich the souls of those who dare to challenge expected norms.  Seek what moves below still waters, and discover the networks and catacombs that past generations have entrusted to us.  Protect the creatures who inhabit these dark and mysterious pools from those who see them only as wastelands to be drained for profit.  Truly open your senses to the secrets of the wetlands.
