About The Artist
In the words of the
artist....
" I experienced abstract art for the
first time 
while enrolled in the Fine Arts program
at NIC. I love to apply bold colours and heavy
texture in an abstract impressionist manner pushing
the limits of reality.
I am forever exploring
new avenues of creativity by mixing media and
sculptured effects in diverse ways.
I start with an image and then allow
the process to be unleashed in a restless energy,
often creating as I go. What may begin as an
organic piece of driftwood morphs into images and
textures that beg for exploration."
One of my favourite
quotes by artist Paul Klee: "Painting is not the replication of reality
but painting is the invention of reality."
My Inspiration
From The Heart
I find inspiration in
character rich images like old old buildings that are
either falling apart or dilapidated in some way.
Good examples of them are in London England, Spain,
Greece, 
Venice and Portugal where I traveled in the
hopes of taking back to Canada photos to enhance with my
paint brush, palette knife and the many different
mediums we have now. Building texture to look
almost three dimensional is a favourite of mine.
Last April when I was in
Portugal I noticed how the buildings are all mostly the
same pale off-white or creamy colour. Even though
I like the architectural structures, I could just
visualize colour on them. Surprisingly one day we
drove by a new subdivision and it had every building
painted in beautiful soft pastels in contrasting colours
side by side. It was a sight to behold!
I was very moved!
Colour is a huge passion
so I love to experiment with it in varying ways using it
where other colours appear drab and lifeless. It
is my belief that if you tone down colour too much you
basically lose it and it's cheerfulness.
Buildings, in their old age, develop so much feeling
from all their years of hardship - telling a story of
their past. The original colours change and blend
together. I love working with that.
I start painting with
an image and then the process and my impression happens
as I paint. That's when my inner self is revealed.
My style of painting
changes rapidly as there is a big world to discover.
I like to keep moving on to new depths of creativity.
