I am an emerging Canadian Artist, born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Like many artists, I am searching for the “way,” which is ever-changing, and ever-adapting. As a result, my artistic thoughts and vision have to adapt and change as well. I have learned to set goals for myself which are attainable instead of unreachable. We would all love to be Monet or Matisse but one does not get there overnight, so I take delight in the path I have set for myself, one I hope leads to bigger and better places.
My trees, cityscapes and landscape paintings reflect a simpler time, when natural beauty was still the focus of our lives. It is my since desire that my paintings take people back to that special place in time, allowing them to make a connection with my art that is uniquely their own.
Painting for me is visual poetry. It expresses what is in my soul. My artwork is a continuance of my creative life’s journey as I pursue an evolutionary life path. As I evolve, so does my art. I paint exclusively with acrylics, using bold brush strokes, palette knives, and vivid colors. There are several layers of glazes separated by mediums to enhance the perception of depth in the paintings.
My abstract art all comes intuitively. I am inspired by things I love. Lastly, all of the abstracts are contained in the beholders of these interests — people — their emotions, shapes, gestures, and expressions.
Painting is a passion for me, and it is a major part of my life. I am a self-taught artist, and learn more techniques with every passing year. I love to paint landscapes, nudes, flowers, street scenes, seascapes, pastoral and abstract art. It’s a matter of both left brain and right brain being in perfect balance that makes me complete.
