Bio/Artist Statement
I am a full time acrylic painter presently residing in Ottawa. I was trained as a commercial artist and as a career I designed and created commercial signage for many years. I am represented by Orange Art Gallery in Ottawa and ADJA Studio & Gallery in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. I am one of the teaching artists at Orange Gallery where I offer a course in architectural storefronts.
My studio is my sanctuary, full of light, music and peace. My paintings are comprehensive and detailed.
My art is liminal, a threshold through different realities. I want to be transparent so I shine the light on both my triumphs and my struggles.
I look for, and paint the sacred details that exist in and through everything. I want to invite you to see with me the depth and detail of contemplative mystery.
