In Summer 2001, I was artist in residence at Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada, sponsored by the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Parks Canada. I have visited Newfoundland five times, and its northern beauty, unique geography and culture continue to exert a force in the direction of my art and thoughts.
