Artist’s Statement

Artist’s Statement

Through painterly, expressive, and bold strokes of paint – in representational and abstract works – I capture the essence of a subject in watercolour or acrylic. A believer in artistic growth, I am undaunted by experimentation and its possible ensuing failures as I move forward in my journey to produce exciting, unique art.

My process is intuitive as I react to the marks on canvas or to my emotional response to the physical reality of a subject; vibrant colour, pattern and textures reflect my intuition and joy of process. The eastern Ontario landscape, its historic towns and agricultural roots are the motifs inspiring the contemporary-style landscapes, still-life and florals of my recent works.
