Artist’s statement It is a wonderful thing to stand at the
base of a thundering waterfall. Takakkaw is
a Cree word meaning magnificent or spectacular.
The landscape I have enjoyed the past year could
only be described in this way! Pounding water
is fed by the Daly Glacier and spills over the
Waputik Range to find its way to the Kicking
Horse River some 380 meters below. Other images
are inspired by a camping trip to the Cypress
Hills and a visit to the Gustav Klimt exhibit
at the National Gallery of Ottawa
