My artwork is a tactile journey of discovery where layers of meaning and texture are revealed through a deliberate process of mark making and surface explorations.  As a Hamilton-based artist and educator, I aim to bring a varied perspective to the intersection of nature and urban environments, distilling the essence of these spaces into intricate patterns and forms. 

​

Through a combination of scraping, uncovering, and revealing, my mixed media pieces expose hidden narratives.  I make layered abstract paintings from the geometry that cities leave behind.  Cracked pavement, architectural forms, scaffolding grids - the shapes we walk past every day...integrating elements of nature through new growth and decay.  Ideas of impermanence, fracture, distortion and imperfection all play in a role in the abstract process for me. 

Using mixed media, I rebuild those fragment into new compositions.  The work is about how urban spaces are broken, repaired, and used again.  It's Hamilton, but it's also any city that won't sit still.
