Oops– I realize that I posted my BIO above, not an Artists Statement. Though I have tried to edit/ remove it, that seems to not be possible. So here instead is an attempt at what was ACTUALLY asked for:

I have a deep-seated interest in the world and the polarities that bring it into rich being: natural/ fantastical, human/ animal, figurative/ landscape, technological/ biological. My art reflects this continual fascination with the edge that divides– there is beauty there, and humour. As a retired veterinarian who has dissected animals for my training and euthanized animals as part of my work, I feel called to bring something light, joyful and colourful into the world, to bring the world more into balance.
