Drawing and Painting

“I see my practice as an opportunity to play with atmosphere, mood, and spatial logic. Working in oil, watercolour, charcoal and ink, I use landscape and natural imagery to explore the contrast between emotive, expressive gesture and the rational, deliberate construction of an imagined space. The resulting images can be interpreted on both a concrete and symbolic level.”

Born in Calgary and raised in Scarborough, I now live and work in Toronto, Ontario. My interests include physics, film, astronomy, and the environment. I am continually inspired by the work of M.C. Escher, Eyvind Earle, Inka Essenhigh, Sohrab Sepehri, Alex Janvier, Haruki Murakami, and Josef Lada.
