I am a Torontonian painter, mostly self-taught. I also enjoy anything where I am creating: cooking, photography, & music compilations. I live in the Upper Beach with my partner and our miniature Schnauzer, Ella. Our human daughter is doing art history at UBC.
Most of my paintings stem from my love of landscapes and the positive and negative space found in ordinary things such as a stand of trees against a sky, or the relationship that colour plays in our urban evironment. I believe in letting the artist imagine the story that goes with the painting, to feel the sunlight, the air, the smells in the scene, and all the emotions they evoke that lead to our own unique interpretation of the pieces.
My first love was photography, and many of my paintings are inspired by photos I have taken.
I hope you enjoy my work, as I immensely enjoy the creative process.
