Beautiful Destruction - Alberta Tar Sands Aerial Photographs was developed into a formal art exhibition during the fall of 2008. The original impetus to display these images as art and create an exhibition, came from the reaction and feedback of individuals across Canada. Since it was first exhibited in April 2009, the exhibition has evolved with images being added and removed based on feedback and the artist's changing feelings about each image. The artist is open to and encourages suggestions from anyone with ideas, support or advice on further venues for this exhibition. The artist is available as a public speaker.
