My mixed media art is rooted in my life on the west coast of British Columbia but also draws on my travelling experiences I create evocative and purposely imperfect paintings inspired by patinas, time-worn layers and the amazing colours of dusk.
I use mixed media for its capacity to reach beyond the visual, to a more tactile process. I curate combinations of materials and techniques to abstract reality, telling a story to elicit an intimate aesthetic and emotional response. To experience this fully, the viewer must enter the multiple layers, shades and textures of my work, and be seduced into a visual and visceral encounter – a holistic meeting of minds between artist and viewer, inspiring self-meditation and mindfulness.
