Artist Statement:
As long as I can remember I have been fascinated with observing and sketching out my surroundings. The act of creating brings me much joy and I liken a painting session to a form of mediation.
I work in oil and I am fascinated by light, shadows, interesting compositions, and the exploration of colour. I am inspired by many things, but it is the landscape that I am truly drawn to. Whether it be a city laneway, a rural country road, rolling farm fields, large cloudy skies or the mountains of western Canada, they all light a fire inside me.
My biggest joy is seeking out these wonderous sights and experiences and translating that excitement and energy to canvas. I love adventuring though my surroundings where ever they may be, with a camera in hand or even better painting en plein air capturing the moment as I see and feel it.
