Simon Armstrong from the radio station "The Daily Juicebox" interviewed me about being an artist. So, its a fun ramble about a variety of themes from talking about mediums, my influences and my inner need to paint. I hope you enjoy this.

One of my all time favorite Ted talks. Dr. Dennis Dutton illustrates how humans are hard wired to be attracted to beauty and what it means for survival. Not just physical, but emotional and spiritual survival. Very interesting indeed. Approximately 15 minutes long and a very worthwhile use of your time.

A wonderful and enlightening extension to Dr. Dutton's presentation. Louie elegantly articulates how beauty connects us to the world. A great 3 minute presentation.

This is another personal view of art and beauty. Philosopher and writer, Roger Scruton comments on the disintegration of society as we negate the value of beauty in the 20th-21st century. Very interesting, as it connects spirituality, humility and caring with the aesthetics of beauty and meaning.

I am now offering you the option to lease to buy art from this agent. As a business you will own the art outright and write off the expense at the same time. For homeowners and businesses you will manage cash flow easier in order to purchase the equity of a beautiful artwork. Enjoy this option!

This organization is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the 21 regional parks around the Metro Vancouver area. I often paint in the local parks, and offer paintings to support their fundraiser efforts. I believe Nature is Nurturing and we all need to do our part to preserve our home.

An interesting take on the nature of beauty, what it is and how it heals.
