Painting

I am...

A Canadian abstract artist.

About my artwork

I’m an abstract painter living and working in British Columbia, Canada.

I’m intrigued by patterns found in nature.
I paint in an intuitive manner with sweeping gestures of opaque and transparent layers of paint to create surface texture and depth - focused on pure abstraction.
Like a spiritual journey my work emerges from my consciousness. As in meditation, I am present in the moment.
