Artist Statement:

My love for the visual arts probably started when I was in elementary school in the Northwest Territories. I like to think it was the northern environment that impacted my desire to transcribe my thoughts into lines and colour. Over the years my eye is continually searching and observing. Whether it be in nature or in a manufactured setting I will look for a vignette or composition that will force me to really look. Visually, mentally and physically I attempt to absorb the scene.

In my past profession as an Interior Designer I manipulated colour, shape, space and texture using basic design principles. It is always a wonderful challenge to tweak those principles and apply my own design theories. I feel I do the same in my painting. I will start with what I know technically then challenge myself with the composition and the application of colour.
