"Much to my enjoyment, 'Canadian Bedouin in Saudi Arabia' was a title I earned in a Saudi newspaper art review. For many years I absorbed the traditions and culture of the Middle East --- collecting and wearing the traditional regional dresses and Bedouin jewellery and expressing my feelings about it in painting, drawing , poetry and the media. Bedouin [Nomad] Mask is my interpretation on canvas of a burqah or a woman's face mask. This is an elaborately decorated one with silver jewellery and embroidery."
