CBC Family Portraits (2011)

This series of portraits was inspired by black-and-white family portraits and my lifelong affinity for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).  The CBC  connects the vast nation of Canada coast to coast to coast regardless of rural/urban divide and functions as the soundtrack to the lives of many of its citizens.  These portraits represent some of my favourite CBC personalities, including Rex Murphy, David Suzuki, Ian Hanomansing, Sheilagh Rodgers, Peter Mansbridge and Peter Gzowski, who have earned a place on my family portrait wall.
