My artistic journey started in 2000 when the desire to create art became a passion. After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design I made Toronto my home, working as an artist and art educator. From small sketches to large scale paintings, my art is based on my own vision and my interactions with the world around me.

I’ve been fortunate to have participated in group exhibitions, and solo exhibitions. My paintings have been exhibited in Italy at the Primo Piano Gallery, in Miami at Art Takes Miami, and in Toronto art galleries.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My body of work is based primarily on painting and abstract expression. Themes in my work include nature, the environment, and personal experience. When developing an artwork my artistic process combines reference images such as sketches, and photographs as well as trusting in my creative instinct. Texture, layering, colour and brushwork are all important formal elements in my paintings. As an artist I will often re-visit themes and return to further develop concepts that remain at the center of my work. I see art as empowering and transformative for both the artist and the viewer. I continue to explore creatively every day.
