Canadian Geographic Abstracts
I have a love of geography, especially Canadian Rivers...
In order to raise appreciation of the vast variety of shapes and patterns in Canadian geography, especially our river systems, I started creating abstract artworks that incorporate the shapes and patterns of rivers and surrounding landscapes. Each painting is made from a portion of a river and on the back of the painting I have written the geographic co-ordinates in longitude and latitude so that it is possible to see the actual landscape from which the painting was derived by using Google Earth, Bing Maps or some other service.
In many ways the abstracts represent how I have always viewed rivers. I have always been amazed by the beauty and variety of shapes carved into the landscape by our river systems.
