Most of my work is a hybrid of painting and collage. I try to communicate mini narratives and “inner-scapes” or visual representations of inner psychological forces.
Where do you find inspiration?I am very interested in human nature and the ways in which we seek to meet our whole expressed self. I use bold, flat geometrical shapes to demand attention and help the viewer to acknowledge the presence of underlying forces in their lives and surroundings.
What would you do with $25,000?Travel..immerse myself in diverse ways of thinking and living. Support my art club of 25 young artists (ages 14–18) who create art to fundraise for causes including women’s shelters, Indigenous organizations, mental health, ocean cleanup, muscular dystrophy + others in the past 10 years. Invest in developing my artistic practice and growing my presence as an artist.
