"Greenery" Painting

I’m a painter and designer currently based in Vancouver. I’ve loved drawing, painting and looking at art since childhood but only after starting studies at Parsons in graphic design, and meeting fine artists in New York, did I begin to take it seriously and have an everyday practice. I have worked with textiles, editorial design and photography but my true love is paint. I am a swimmer since childhood and the feeling of water runs through my work, it’s one of my most common subjects, appearing in small and large ways throughout the work I have created (a vase, a bathtub, a pool, the sea). My inspirations run from fashion editorials to new wave films to religious iconography. I have an undergrad in religious studies and the imagery around spirituality has always fascinated me. I’m particularly drawn to the spiritual dimension colours possess, their language and potential for communicating mood. I believe we all have strong associations with colour and that it has a healing potential, working with colours definitely does. I hope that you enjoy viewing this work, it comes from a pure place of exploration and intuition, the place of dreams.
