Summary of Professional History
I have been a practicing artist for more than thirty years. Since 1982,
my work has been shown in more than fifty solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the United
States and Europe.
I have also been working in art education for more than twenty-five years, at various
levels of the system and, at times, concurrently with my own formal education. I have
taught art theory, art history and various studio courses (sculpture, ceramics, art
fundamentals, time-based intermedia art and alternative art practices). I have been
teaching in the Liberal Studies Department -where I became a tenured faculty in 1996,
Academic Head 2000/01, Chair 2001/2004 and I have been awarded a sabbatical leave for
research 2004-2005.
Since 1985, I have published more than forty essays and reviews in various anthologies,
magazines and exhibition catalogues and recently guest edited two anthologies.
I have participated in artist residencies (Braziers residency, Braziers, England, The
Free Idea Zone, Santa Cruz, California, The Bemis Foundation, Omaha, Nebraska, Banff
Centre, Banff, Alberta) academic conferences as a guest speaker (art history, cultural
studies) and lectured many times about my own artwork (Canada, U.S.A. and Europe.)
I have also had the occasion to work as a guest curator.
