ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The Landscape Within represents a deep and honoured connection I have with nature nurtured as a young child through family adventures. As Canadians we are fortunate to have vast spaces and a close appreciation to nature. Viewing the natural landscape and its ability to change and heal from past trauma is a lesson we can all learn from. My current viewpoint allows me to reflect on the darkness and light that is cast on the landscape daily. My work conveys the power of waves of change and the many layers to find new light through abstract expression.
