Artist Statement
Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of western Canada, I paint to evoke adventure and connection. My bold brushstrokes and vivid hues transform familiar places into dynamic compositions that invite exploration.
Contrast plays a key role in my work—bright sunshine against stormy skies, delicate wildflowers near weathered barns, vast fields meeting rugged peaks. Through my art, I seek to ignite a spirit of discovery, reminding people of the magic just beyond their doorstep.
