StatementI am a Canadian artist. My works show elements of abstraction, realism with impressionism with use of oils, acrylics and lately some mixed media. I enjoy landscapes the most as well as florals and still life.
Creating art is exciting to me. Art is a form of expression through one's being. It evolves and shifts with what life brings each year, as I and those around me go through our journeys. Artwork is the tool and fuel for the soul.
Translating a 'moment in time' with color, light, and texture that can be shared with others is a joy. My goal is to let my paintings bring out what your journey is leading you to feel and use it to inspire your being.
