Welcome to ArtWorks East

My artistic vision is influenced by the wild natural landscape of the eastern shore of Nova Scotia.

Rob has deep local roots in the area where he and Beverley live in a restored 1910 family home overlooking Philips Harbour and Chedabucto Bay.

My first love in art making has always been landscape and still life. While I visited Nova Scotia frequently over the years, I moved to Guysborough permanently in 2018.

During the COVID pandemic, I decided to write a book, which is now available through most online platforms.

The diverse range in my artistic style, my drive and yearning for new techniques, experimentation, and self-challenge leaves every artwork a special and unique piece to connect with.

My love of working in inks probably stems from my practical background in printing. It is such a defining medium, like ying and yang; it gives me balance.

A couple of years ago, Pat Steger was introduced to polymer clay and was hooked. plymer clay is probably one of the most versitile mediums to work with. in its raw state it can be painted, dyed, embossed, stamped, molded, blended together, stenciled, silk screen and much more.

I make wire and bead jewelry and other interesting items. I use all kinds of materials – wherever something pops up that speaks to me – including fish scales, cabochons (a gem polished but not faceted), and of course beads.
