New work in progress

These evocative landscape-based abstracts delve into our relationship with the natural world.
Lyrical line and washes of rich colour create worlds you can immerse yourself in.

“I want to create work that feels alive and true”

Trained as a graphic designer and creative director, I turned to painting to recharge my creative batteries. It quickly became an obsession and now I have a rigorous studio practice. My unique approach to abstract painting rests on a deep understanding of design and colour, freshly animated by the sensual immediacy of my materials.

I live and work in the woods near Washago, Ontario, a wonderful area full of rivers and lakes.

Immersion

This group of paintings express the joy and complexity of immersion in the natural world.

Our Radiant Selves

The paintings in this series have been described as mysterious, sensual, and lit from within.
These are unique, introspective pieces that invite contemplation.
