“We see man working in the environment … we need the land, that we need nature. We need to utilize it in such a way that it is not destroyed for future use, either by ourselves or by our children … The estrangement of man from nature is regarded by Michener as the central ‘life problem’ of contemporary civilization.” – Mary Fox, Curator, Burnaby Art Gallery
"My paintings ... express a gentle, intelligent and caring involvement with the land. They are about an attitude, perhaps like that of a good gardener."
