Biography

 

I was born in Toronto, and my passion for art started at a young age when I discovered my talent for drawing. My journey as an artist has been a process of self-discovery and exploration. My paintings have been exhibited in numerous galleries across Canada and have been collected internationally. With over 40 years of professional practice, I have developed distinct techniques that create unique visual experiences in each painting. In addition to Muse Gallery I am also represented by Galerie St-Laurent + Hill, Ottawa, Ontario.

Artist Statement​

​

The sky, with its captivating atmospheric effects-sunrises, sunsets, and shifting light-uniquely connects us all and has inspired my work since the beginning. While my work is highly intuitive, I view painting as a process of mark-making, colour interplay, and contrasts in light. My goal is to convey brightness, drama, and atmosphere, drawing inspiration from urban or rural landscapes with vibrant sunsets and dramatic clouds.​ My paintings strike a balance between spontaneous abstract gestures and figurative references, resulting in thought-provoking images. Each piece evolves through my observations and decisions, revealing beauty that often emerges from unexpected accidents. The work hints at recognizable forms, shaped by layering and the willingness to take risks in every composition. I I remain deeply committed to this creative journey.
