I am a Canadian artist, currently living in Ottawa, Ontario. My practice involves painting, printmaking, and digital media. Detailed information about each body of work is included in their respective sections. I am inspired by many artists, and have included a few quotes here to describe a few ways in which I think about my work and practice.
"There are universal shapes to which everyone is subconsciously conditioned and to which they can respond if their conscious control does not shut them off." Henry Moore.
"I live and create through a philosophy of paradoxical transformation. When burdened with any given hurdle, I attempt a qualitative shift, creating possibility from failure and taking awkwardness into an ambiguous world of awkwardness and elegance" Bill Shannon
My work is strongly informed by the materials I work with, not only their physical properties but their history, the tactile nature of the elements that bring them into a visceral form. I am very interested in the presence of animal influences, and this is something that I continue to explore in my work.
