Cut – 4:40 35mm/digital - 2008
"Cut" is a short animated film about a woman who get's a haircut and get's more than she bargained for.
This short animated film was made by shooting artwork underneath an Oxberry Camera. I promised this camera 15 years ago that I would make my own film on it someday. By a wonderful twist of fate that very same camera went into the hands of the organization with which I made the film and a promise was kept.
It has screened at film festivals around the world and at our own National Gallery here in Canada at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.

Crushed – 2:10 digital/super 8/ 16 mm- 2008
"Crushed" is a miniature study of grief, and a tribute to Midi Onodera's "The Basement Girl".
"Crushed" is a commissioned film for the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Center's "Regenerations" Project. It has toured Canada with the "Regenerations" Project. Being on tour with this film was a great experience for me. I admire Midi's work and it was an honour to be part of this project.

Paintings - Happy Show
My friend April White and I like to paint and draw dark, moody, and generally not to cheery looking things. So we decided to paint Happy things to see if we could reverse the influence. After much wine and cheese we deemed the experiment successful.
Some of the happier pieces are featured here:
