Scratchboard and india ink (framed).
11x14"
LION GAZE is an artwork that explores the scratchboard medium wherein sharp tools are carved into the black ink ,which sits on a white clay layer and board substrate. Through stippling, hatching, scraping and removal of portions of the black ink surface, textures, shapes and 3 dimensional visuals emerge to reveal a regal image that celebrates the majesty of the beast.
I am a proud recipient of the Jaime Simmons Memorial Award as a graduate of the Visual and Digital Arts program at Humber College. Sheridan College has also contributed to my artistic training with a Certificate in Illustration. Membership in a number of art organizations enables me to remain contemporary. Exhibitions in locations such as Toronto, Ohio, British Columbia and Vienna have allowed my art to be introduced to a wider audience. Volunteering my services in workshops, art events and ArtReach programs have assisted me in engaging with the public and the art community in meaningful ways. I support accessibility in the creative arts and opportunities that allow for art to be appreciated by everyone.
