ABOUT THE ARTIST

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! I am an abstract painter, born in the prairies and surrounded by water and mountains. I’m a commercial lawyer by day, and an artist by night, living and working in Calgary, Alberta.

Creating art is my way if breathing life into emotions, colors, and forms. My art is an exploration of vulnerability—an ode to the beauty in imperfection.

I’m passionate about painting atmospheric pieces in black and white and monochromatic color tones. As a minimalist at heart, I’m drawn to making intentional, tranquil pieces free from distracting elements. My hope is that my work will convey the peace and quiet connection that I experienced while painting, in an otherwise hectic world.

I love working with acrylics and water and am drawn to the spontaneity and rapidness of this medium. The unpredictable interaction that occurs between water, pigment, and canvas is fascinating, and is an art form that I will never stop exploring.

I find the entire practice of art making to be therapeutic, from building a frame, stretching and prepping a canvas, to mark making and framing. I’m passionate about working with acrylics and water, and its ability to capture emotion, movement, and energy.
