Biography
Colin Southwell was the first Artist in Residence (2000-2002). Prior to the creation of the gates for the Maple Ridge Cemetery, Colin had concentrated on using traditional design, including “straight lines and curly cues” in his gate creations. The wavy lines, seen in the Maple Ridge Cemetery gates were a first for Colin. “The addition of two butterflies are a tribute to family friends who lost their children at a very young age."
