Layers Painting

Mine is a graphic take on life. Through the relative chaos, I find the design in nature and dance with it on canvas. Using line and simplifying what I see, I look for interesting shapes and colours, and explore the spaces in between. Rhythm is found, and exaggerated. With an upbeat palette and a bit of whimsy for good measure, I capture landscapes and rural architecture in acrylic paint on canvas. I was raised in Saskatchewan and spent my younger years in the mountains of British Columbia and Colorado. Ten years ago I settled on the shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario, where I have been painting full time ever since. My work has been included in exhibitions across Canada. My paintings can be found in public collections in both the United States and Canada, as well as private collections around the world.
