Explore.

 

Exploration is an integral part of my creative process.When I explore I begin noticing, when I begin noticing I become curious and when I become curious, I start to unravel all of the ways I think about the world and who I am within it.Reflecting upon the relationship between humanity and nature is a recurring theme in my work: How can natural environments shape memories? Evoke nostalgia? Challenge our perceptions of change, growth

The colors, scents, textures, and sounds of the outside world provide me with a profound sense of comfort and belonging. Whether amidst the expansive farmlands of the Prairies or the vast mountain ranges of the West, the natural world can teach us so much, if only we are open to learning​

Imagine.

Imagine.

​

Majority of my process is imagining elements of nature with a completely different aesthetic.  What if a stream was compiled of shapes? What if an eagle's feathers were constructed solely of eagles? Surreal wonders like these drive my curiosity when I'm encapsulated by a space. Imagining an altered aesthetic challenges my mind to think beyond it's accustomed visual understanding and question the scene in view. In my work, I like to play with the idea of expectation versus imagination. 

Create.

Create.

When I paint, I often use a photograph for reference. I use the photograph to draft the structural elements of the composition and from there, the photograph becomes obsolete. Once the sketch is complete, colour takes over! In my recent works, I use surreal, vibrant colour schemes rather than traditional landscape colour palettes.
