ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Self taught artist from the GTA using acrylic paint to express and explore feelings and emotions. Works are inspired by the introspective exploration of the complexity, depth and ability for emotions to evolve throughout life especially after experiences such as mental illness and trauma. The strength and force of emotions triggered by traumatic events are powerful and my works aim to mimic this intensity and power with those forces found in the natural world and express them on canvas.
