Here's what I'm working on currently: A trilogy of books entitled "Rachmaninov," "Paganini" & "Strauss." New themes arising out of this series are bow instruments and flowers. I'm developing a method of transfering these images onto wood and then oil painting. These and several other books will be showing at the Britannia Branch Library (Vancouver, BC) in July '04
