“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Hello and welcome! I’m a self taught abstract painter and textile artist located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. A lifelong creative, I recently ‘retired’ from my day job and traded spreadsheets for paint brushes and piles of wool. Life is good.
Making art makes me happy. I love colour, texture, and movement, and use a variety of media to build vibrant, unique, and bold pieces of art. I’m inspired by nature, travels, experience, and sometimes just the materials themselves. My pieces are most often abstract explorations of natural spaces, informed by memory and emotion rather than a strict depiction, with a recurrent theme of awe and solitude. And sometimes I just play until the subject reveals itself.
I hope my work resonates and brings you joy.
