A woman gazes at the scene that unfolds before her, reposing in a tranquil reverie while reclining elegantly on a red chaise lounge. In this artwork, I've harmoniously blended the timeless elegance of a vintage-inspired polka dot gown with the tranquil beauty of a natural landscape. It's a celebration of serenity and grace, with each brushstroke capturing a moment of reflective poise. This painting is a visual symphony that will infuse any space with a sense of nostalgic sophistication and quiet contemplation. This beautiful work of art is painted around the sides and comes ready to hang.

Figure & Flora Colour is of prime importance in my work, evoking mood, sensuality and a sense of beauty. My paintings are a rich pastiche comprised of diverse inspirations such as the avant-garde and post-impressionist movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, European textile patterns and sources derived from my immediate environment. A dialogue between my imagination and the past informs the work. The painting begins to reveal itself as the brush interacts with the canvas. There are no preparatory sketches. The process of creating the painting is intuitive and remains exciting and spontaneous. The composition is drawn directly onto the canvas with conte´ or brush, beginning with the figure or a vase of flowers, and then creating the surrounding environment. When the composition is completed with the various elements in place, the underpainting is begun. Layers of paint are added to the surface, allowing the colour of the underpainting to show through, creating richness and a depth to the surface colour. The faces are derived from my imagination, the features generalized to suggest universality rather than a specific person. Inspiration for the still life paintings may come from a bouquet on my table, or many times they simply emerge luxuriantly and fully formed onto the canvas. Essence of Landscape My childhood summers were filled with weekend explorations of the countryside north of Toronto and beyond. These early road trips, rich with images, fed my internal visual archive. Viewed from the car window, an ever-changing vista rolled before my eyes. Walks through woods immersed me in dark shadows where rays of glinting light pushed their way between boughs, dappling the forest floor, luminous and redolent of earth. In this landscape series, I’ve painted scenes inspired by both the countryside and the city’s verdant backyards, all filtered through imagination and an emotional response translated into lively brushstrokes and an abundance of colour. Impasto strokes of acrylic are laid upon watercolour like underglazes and the charcoal marks of the initial drawing are sometimes revealed. The paintings depict the energetic essence of landscape and capture the passion for the natural world that I was introduced to as a child, that held a kind of magic and an ethereal quality that still resonate strongly within me.
