I am a Canadian artist living in Victoria. My work focuses on peace. My art helps me
find answers, or at least deal with some of the worrying realities of the modern day.
My trips into Baghdad standing for peace caused huge stress to my family and me. It took
a few years before I was able to come to accept that whole experience and work out how to
continue to work as an artist. I put my energy into creating natural art facilities that awoke a
sense of peace in myself and others. I set up my first project in a large field, using a simple
mother and child design. I later did two similar, small works, one in Scotland and the other in
Baghdad.
I wanted to create something more permanent(永恒的), however, and so I created the
Peace Image in Hudson’s Hope. It can’t be seen very well on the ground these days, because the
locals just loved riding over the large piles of dirt. I don’t mind that at all. The Peace Image still
turns up well from the air and on Google maps though.
For more than 50 years now, I’ve felt pleased to be able to express myself through my art.
In the autumn of 2013, I was encouraged to lead the creation of a Peace Garden art project at
Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich. After everything we had been through, it was such a gift
to work closely with my wife, Elizabeth Wellburn, a talented artist. It was and still is a labour of
love.
