About

I was born in Vancouver in 1929, grew up in Chinatown, and lived for many years in the Yukon. I studied at the Vancouver School of Art and pursued further sculpture studies under Jack Harman, graduating with honours in bronze casting in 1975. While I have made smaller works, my interest has always been in large scale, interactive sculptures, and I have explored this most extensively in my public art commissions.

I enjoy the challenge of making public art: from the historic research of site, engineering problem solving, and the knowledgeable and enthusiastic specialists I work alongside during the long creative process.

In 1989, I was fortunate to spend time again in the North, this time travelling all the way to Resolute, in Canada’s high arctic, as part of the Polar Shelf Artist -in-Residence Program. This was a significant experience in my life and career, and the memory of that landscape and human impact on it has stayed with me ever since.

From 1984-2020 I worked out of my studio at 1000 Parker St. in Vancouver. Cheers!
