ABOUT

Born in 1964 I am a Canadian artist. I commute from an acreage near the town of Ste Genvieve, Manitoba to my studio in Winnipeg.

Painting for me is a kind of evolution bringing life to where there was nothing; it is a process of enacting change, of exposure, and transformation. I paint intuitively either allowing unforced images to form on the canvas or beginning with a vague image in my mind or an emotion. I look to expose that which is contained; to externalize the internal and expose a coherent image in the marks on the canvas. Working spontaneously the images formed become a metaphorical representation of my effort to understand myself in relation to the world. Whether the images are abstract or abstract landscapes, spontaneity is integral to my process of transcribing my thoughts from the brush to the canvas.
