A Fine Balance
Dimensions 2006 was a great success this past Fall, exhibiting 59 works of art by NCNS members, the 2 month show at the wonderful Sussex Gallery space was attended by thousands people from the national capital region.
The theme of the show, "A Fine Balance", and examined the concept of balance or equilibrium in both abstract and representational form through a variety of media. Dimensions 2006 resulted in a delightful diversity of ideas, interpretations, materials and techniques to entice the visitor to see and reflect on the obvious and subtle balancing acts of both our lives and our world.

Abstract art should stimulate the imagination. I strive to create graceful, free-flowing, well balanced abstracts which follow many laws of nature and stimulate the imagination of most people. |

Art should give pleasure. To make you smile, think, feel, observe, contemplate and lead a fuller life. If I have helped achieve this in any small measure then I am more fulfilled myself. |

Sculpture, to me, is a harmonious act of balance, clean lines and purity of form. Combining stone and bronze is particularly exciting to me. Formed of opposing techniques, the two materials present a challenge in creating harmony. |
