Short BiographyI’m originally from Alberta, moved to Vancouver, then most recently moved to Parksville. My influences have ranged from the simplistic Japanese style, the Renaissance, journeys from around the world. I am also deeply inspired by my family’s vintage photo album and love the vintage black and white outdoor images of people and their animals on the farm. Nature also has a big influence on me and I am forever drawing, trees, beaches, and birds as part of my practice. After exploring many different styles of art I now know that my strength is my drawing and my painting skills and I see my acrylic painting as flat graphic rather than expressive/impressionistic. My recent influence is blending flat semi-realistic/graphic imagery with abstract backgrounds. I am also exploring textures from natural objects combined with acrylic paint; mixed mediums that include charcoal, chalk pastels, and collage.
