Hello,
i I am a Canadian artist originally from Alberta, where I began my life-long love affair with nature and the natural world. Riding, camping, hiking, sailing and exploring the world around me, all inspire me to produce my very special and unique Art. I currently reside in the Interior of British Columbia otherwise known as The Okanagan.
.
I work in the mediums of painting, drawing, photography and digital art. I am a self-taught artist who has grown up with a paintbrush in one hand, and a camera in the other. My work captures my emotional responses to the world around me and reflects my love of the great outdoors. As well as, my concerns for the environment and the future of our planet. I incorporate elements of nature in both my photography and my painting, taking everyday subjects and transposing them using the colours and forms that reflect and convey my emotional response. MY work is direct and yet contains lyrical and narrative elements that point to a deeper, hidden meaning.
In my own words –
I love nothing better than taking off for the day and finding a quiet isolated spot away from everything. These are my most creative moments when see art everywhere I look I try to reflect my love of life in each piece of artwork and photograph that I create.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I hope you enjoy my work. I always have several projects in progress so please keep checking back for updates.
