Torrefied maple and cradled birch panels are  engagedirectly with the natural grain of the wood to draw out images embedded within the material itself. Rather than imposing representation, the process extracts forms suggestive of the Newfoundland landscape, allowing the wood to function as both surface and painted color. This approach foregrounds the inherent tonalities and rhythms of the material, resulting in a lyrical interpretation of place—one that balances restraint and expression, presence and evocation.
