Painting for me is a process of receiving and transmitting attributes of ideas, shapes, relationships, landscape, colours. A sense of undisturbed space, the intersection between external and internal that derives from being a speck receiving the immensity of the sky over the broad plains, or the volumous shapes and lines that define the eastern slopes of southern Alberta, are current themes.
I largely paint plein air, and occasionally in the studio from plein air sketches. Like some of the others in the Outsiders group, I have little formal training and learned techniques and methods at my mother's knee: Rosalyn Haynes-Norman was a professional illustrator and artist. I work mainly in oils but occasionally watercolor or acrylic.
