ARTIST STATEMENT
To paint is to see.
I am in awe of what I see in nature and feel compelled to capture it in a painting. My intent is to create an impression – mood, atmosphere, light and colour. Whether I’m painting outside or in my studio in Ketch Harbour, my work is colourful and usually optimistic. I adore texture and character in people, places and of course, paintings. My work is always evolving as I learn, experiment and grow.
In my corporate life I tell stories with words. As a visual artist, I tell stories with colour, texture, light and form.
