About The Artwork

I absolutely love stepping into "collected" rooms; ones that appear to have evolved over a long period of time. To me, achieving a look that floats timelessly from one generation to another isn't about matching periods, woods and finishes; it's about mixing historic elements with contemporary pieces and layering patterns and textures. Although this piece is abstract and looks great in a contemporary setting, I imagine it among traditional furnishings. If you look at the detail photos, you'll se that I've shown one photo where the juxtaposition of contemporary vs traditional sets the artwork apart, giving it a moment in the sun (Rise and Shine), without overshadowing the furniture style. The other photos show how Rise and Shine can give a room a new freshness. This “statement piece” is acrylic on wood panel, and in the frame measures 17” x 17”. I work exclusively on birch wood because of its endurance over canvas and because it allows me to sand into the layers to expose the history of each piece. The surface of this painting is as smooth as glass (something my work is known for) and finished with a thin layer of cold wax to reduce glare.

My Process and What Inspires Me I am an abstract painter, drawn to creating feelings in my work rather than representations of things that are already recognizable. At the most basic level, I love exploring the beautiful ways that geometric shapes can contrast with loose, graceful lines and interesting marks. The subtle differences I create in my works are achieved by building up multiple layers of acrylic paint on birch wood panels, then sanding and scratching back into the work. I do this intentionally to reveal what I call ‘the history’ of the painting and to add richness and depth to the color and design. I’m constantly responding to what’s happening as I paint, considering where to bring different colors, line and shapes into focus. Some of my choices are intended to create loud contrasts and differences that I want viewers to see from a distance, others are about drawing the viewer’s eye to more intimate or quiet details that are discovered when my work is viewed up close. Because the idea of “feeling” my work is important to me, my palette is often inspired by the music I’m playing. And although it isn’t necessarily intentional, I know for sure that my surroundings influence what happens on my boards. I grew up playing in the foothills of the Canada’s Rocky Mountains, and my childhood taught me to look, to pay attention, to be present. Now I live in Newport Beach. My inspiration might come from the way the light hits the sand during sunrise to signs of paint peeling from a building. All of that said, at the core of my work is the absolute pure joy I feel when I’m painting – I hope that’s really what you see and feel when you look at my paintings. I am grateful for every minute I get to spend in my studio.
