Artist Statement:
I like to create art that
expresses colour. Enjoying a
work does not merely depend on
what the picture is, but the
feelings it can envoke.
Abstract allows the viewer to
see their own images in the
frame, and read their own
feelings into the picture.
Often I have people come up
and tell me what they see in
my paintings, and then minutes
later someone else tells me
other things that they see.
This is fascinating, and part
of the reason that I love to
work with the abstraction.
There are no rules, just a
sense of whimsy and
freedom....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Bruce Head's work being prevailent in my home became almost second nature to me. It is only natural that his family see a bit of Bruce in my work. |
| |
| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I have been surrounded by artists all my life. My parents are collectors of art, and I lived across the street from Bruce Head when I was a child. His work dominated my parents collection for most of my life. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I started out in Winnipeg, and then as a child moved to New Zealand with my family. We spent almost two years there before returning to Canada, and Calgary. I have been here ever since.
With encouragement from my former art teacher (now friend) I decided to take my hobby of painting to a new level. I have sold in many shows now, and am enjoying the freedom of expressing colour. |
