Toronto, Ontario

Making abstract art is how I make sense of the world. I try to make a deep connection with others through my work. I play with paint and pastels, spatulas and squeegees, exploring relationships between shapes and lines, colors and textures. I paint intuitively, taking a risk by focusing on the process and letting the final result be uncontrolled. I working with acrylic paint, pastels and some collage.

In 2016 I studied at Central Technical in the Adult Art Program and developed a studio art practice. I have been inspired by non-objective and abstract artists, such as abstract expressionists, the Canadian group Painters Eleven and the Bay Area Figurative Artists.

I enjoy exploring and playing in my Toronto studio in an industrial setting and my new studio at my cottage in Muskoka.
