ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Creating art grounds the restlessness in me and it helps me to reflect upon the passage of time, my relationships with people, animals and nature. Typically for landscapes, I paint from memory and reference personal photos. Vacillating between representation and abstraction, my work strives to capture the essence and vitality of my subject matter.

Similar to everyone else who wasn't able to travel during COVID this piece was painted from memory of being on a boat somewhere faraway and warm. I wanted to capture the feeling of waves splashing and dancing alongside the boat speeding towards distant shores on the horizon.

During COVID more so than any other time in my life being creative, in particular painting helped ground me and keep me in the moment. It gave me time to reflect and appreciate all the people, places and things in my life. Animals and landscapes are two focus subjects of my work but during COVID I seemed to gravitate towards landscapes more. Nature helped fuel my creativity.

"Changing Winds" was painted in the height of COVID when there was some news and hope that a vaccine was on its way. I hoped that the winds were changing, and we would be able to see loved ones again.

Nature fuels my creativity and I particularly love clouds and bodies of water. This love of sky and sea was shared by my mom. This piece was inspired by my travels with her. In my dreams we are together once again sharing laughs while looking up at the cotton candy dancing sky.

Unable to make my annual trip to Canada's West Coast due to COVID-19, I painted a a number of seascapes to bring the magnificent Pacific Ocean into my studio. I hope my contemporary seascape works painted from memory enables the viewer to feel the push and pull of the ocean, see the many shades of blue and if they close their eyes, perhaps they can almost taste the salt in the misty air.
