I had the great pleasure and opportunity to work with the poetry of George Elliott Clarke earlier this year. Lasso the Wind: Aurélia's Verses and Other Poems will be out this fall.  Here are several illustrations... a bit of a preview!

    Thanks for demonstrating your approach to creating the illustrations for Lasso the Wind at the “new book bash” held by the N.S. Children’s Literature Roundtable last Saturday. As an artist, you play a huge role in a child’s developing appreciation for excellence in the visual aspects of the books they read. In combination with the wonderful stories they accompany, your work will likely remain in their memories throughout their lives, as my childhood favourites have remained with me. All the best...

Thanks to Dante and Chris, two very patient young men, and the stars of the book.

Richard died suddenly on November 4th, 2019.  In the more than two years that followed his death, I worked predominately on completing his graphic novel, Dusty Dreams and Troubled Waters , written by Brian Bowman, and in curating a show of his work, Richard Rudnicki: Reflections on Life , at ArtsPlace Gallery in Annapolis Royal.  https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2251430 https://artsplaceexhibits.weebly.com/richard-rudnicki.html This does not mean that I did not work in my own studio, but grief and the adjustment to life alone did take its toll.
