ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I am learning from nature what life doesn't speak about.
My work is the unconscious expression of what has marked me or someone I know. What inspires me is Peace and Love but I often use abstract and surreal nature as my main symbolic metaphor for the mood or emotions I want to express.

I painted this one with my palette knives. I find it feels like a breath of fresh air.
Lately, more than ever before I feel like when I need to relax, I reach for the outdoors. It has a certain magic that can be like a warm freshness or something. Can't explain it much in words. It was inspired by the feeling of just a relaxed freshness gained from a brisk walk.

An abstract painting with moving light and fog in light colours of cream, green and yellow. The light on the tree trucks draws you in and takes you on a journey into an untouched imagined landscape. Painted with spontaneous bold strokes from her imagination, the artist didn't want to focus on capturing every detail of the landscape. Instead decided on capturing the energy, portraying key elements such as light, colours and shadows. The inspiration comes not from the scene itself, but from the initial impression it leaves upon the artist.

As an artist, I am drawn to the natural world and the way light interacts with it. In my latest painting, I depict a landscape that features a dock stretching over water, with a striking viridian green laser beam running through the wood. This painting represents the importance of natural light in our lives and the impact that human activity has on our environment.
In recent years, we have seen a decline in dark skies due to increased light pollution. The neon hues caused by a colder moon are a changing sign of the way there are fewer and fewer dark skies near us. In this painting, I aim to highlight the hues of light that seem artificial to underscore the importance of preserving dark skies.
As inhabitants of this planet, we have a role to play in reducing our impact on the environment. By being mindful of our energy consumption and making small changes in our daily lives, we can help preserve the natural beauty of our world and protect it for future generations. Let us all take responsibility for our actions and work towards a brighter future for all.

My acrylic painting is a celebration of the beauty found in unlikely places. Inspired by the sinking kayak dock at Riel Park in St-Albert, I was struck by the surreal view of reality created by the moss floating over the water and the dock.
The distant shores of the Sturgeon River and the clouds above add depth to the painting, making it feel like a flatbed. As I approached the dock, I noticed that it had become a home to ducks, which added to the curious and surreal scene.
Through my painting, I hope to capture the beauty of nature's ability to adapt and thrive in unexpected places. The sinking kayak dock, once seen as a problem, has become a haven for the local wildlife. The moss and the ducks have transformed it into something beautiful and unexpected. Art has the ability to highlight the beauty in our surroundings, even in the most unlikely of places. This painting is a tribute to the power of nature and the importance of finding beauty in the unexpected.
