“I draw inspiration for my jewellery designs from life’s experiences, my travels, and the natural beauty of the world we live in. I particularly enjoy making jewellery that has an element of ‘play’ in the design, like my “champagne” rings with tiny bubbles that ‘lift’ off the surface in a gem-like effect. I use my natural curiosity when creating my designs, exploring ways to use the metals to create a visual sensation, perhaps one of delicacy, softness or fluidity. By using distinct shapes, capturing or reflecting light, adding textures or finding novel ways to blend gemstones and design elements into my pieces, I hope to evoke an emotional response when people see or wear my jewellery. “

“ My urban nightscapes show my fascination with the artificial dream world created by neon and traffic lights. The composition borrows from the randomly scattered light plays I find in the city: the patterns, the juxtapositions, the blending, the subtly and the bright. The reflections of wet surfaces on rainy nights make the colours explode, emphasizing our theatrical surroundings. It’s a world we seek to escape from - real and at the same time, surreal.”

“I compose imaginary scenes using a process I have developed involving drawing and photographic image transfer. This work deals with reality as a constructed narrative by combining "real’ photographic images to create scenes that do not actually exist outside of the work itself - a form of deceptive realism. The selective process mimics the telling of a story, or making of a memory. It points out that our worlds are partly what we make of them, as our realities are both selective and subjective. In piecing together bits of the world to create scenes that seem real and familiar, I create a culturally specific familiarity, based on the places I come from. These pictures describe part of my culture, and something of myself.”

“My landscape paintings are both a study of the physical and metaphysical. I strive to depict the beauty and colour of our natural world infused with the multidimensional reality of light. By immersing myself into the elements of nature and expressing my experience in an abstracted expression of the landscape, I practice capturing the feeling of the natural world. Through the inspiration of nature I witness the deconstruction of form into the formless and back into form again; deconstructing trees, hills and sky into colour, lines, form and space.”

“I have been practicing on-site paintings (en plein air) for over twenty years, struggling with post modern approaches to the development of abstract spaces based on contemporary philosophy. I return to the landscape for both renewal and insight, finding new and subtle connections between the act of seeing and my perception of the world. While maintaining traditional perspective, these paintings struggle to include many of the ideas I utilize in my larger abstract work. “

“I work in concert with the subject, observing new combinations of line and colour, which create spaces of meaning based on the specificity of the moment. I aim to depict both the act of seeing, and the becoming of a world within which I am also becoming.”

“I paint from my own experience, from what I love and know- if the subject evokes an emotional response in me, then I know it can work as a painting. The best ideas for paintings or drawings often come when they are least expected.

Watercolour and graphite are ideal mediums for me, since they are portable, adapt to any subject matter, and allow for both intimate detail and impressionism.“

“Emotional memories are not always immediately recognizable as having a concrete birthplace. This concept was explored by photographing through an unfocused lens. Rather than dictating what is to be the perceived truth, blurred images create a doorway that allows the viewer to follow a personal narrative into each photograph. Our memory bank acts as a container in which we capture poignant moments that both consciously or unconsciously take root and follow us through time. The subject matter in my work is familiar to many, but the accompanying sensory memories and the location the viewer places then in, are unique to the individual.”

“My starting point is landscape. From there I find my way to the material that best evoke the terrain that attracts me. My interest is less photographic depiction than connecting to the spirit or energy in the composition. Painting landscapes for me is a way of uncovering imaginative states and mirroring emotional realities. I work with large spontaneous gestures, whenever possible involving the whole body in the act of creating. This complete physical engagement liberates the movement within he material themselves, the painterliness in the paint, the soul in the charcoal. My work exploits the tension between the rigor of conceptual design and the unpredictability that comes for responding to the material in the moment of creation.”

I feel that still life, in spite or because of its focus on intimacy, also brings awareness to the complexity of human experience. I am interested in the visual possibilities of describing their world in the disarray of my studio, with colour and without.”

“Monotypes are my chosen medium, in part because of the quality of colour created by the layers of ink when rolled through the press. I draw from life using water based crayons and oil based inks.”

“My favourite subject matter is the Canadian landscape, especially when it includes old buildings. Since I love history, this content (which is fast disappearing in our time) is very appealing to me and I am moved to want to render my feelings in paint."

“The landscape presents colour and form in its complexity of light and shadow and renews my questions of our impact on the course of each stream, brook and river. When looking at nature one can't help but notice the direct impact of man on unspoiled nature. Our planet’s ecological balance has been severely comprimised, and phenomena such as global warming and the deterioration of the ozone layer affect every inch of our planet.”

“I employ a visual language to address these issues with the goal of awakening interest and inspiring my audience to action.”
