Breath of She Painting

I am a Canadian based artist that specializes in cold wax, oil and encaustic medium. Born and raised in both the Pacific Northwest and France, I am widely influenced by my natural surroundings, cultural traditions and the representational artists that have defined art history. My process is rooted in material, colour and organic shapes and is highly responsive to the process and medium at play. My paintings often portray a sense of femininity visually experienced through colour, rhythm and organic shapes found throughout various natural and architectural landscapes. Through my work, I hope to walk the viewer through the development of self. Starting from organic shapes and translucent layers to represent the intrinsic quality of nature to defined brushstrokes, line work and cultural thematic colours that define the expression of self.
