As long as I can remember, creativity has always been a part of me. Over the years it has manifested itself in various forms, drawing, painting, graphic design, poetry, and writing. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a concentration in theatre design and art and worked as a set and lighting designer for several years.

In spite of this, for 20 years, life has diverted this fundamental drive during which time I started a family and used my creative drive in the corporate world, including advertising and marketing.

Since 2010, the deep-rooted creative impulse has resurfaced and melded into a mix of painting and digital design with an infusion of the dramatic, theatrical and luminous. Using photography as a reference, I look to meld over 30 years of diverse creative inspiration to create works that move, illuminate, and inspire.
