Artist Statement

Art, for me, is an expression of my mood. It is a composition of elements that allows me to channel my energy into a visual form. 

In my landscape and Canadiana work I endeavour to capture the dramatic character of the Prairies and the lone presence of vanishing iconic homesteads. 

By contrast, I also enjoy the free form of abstract — expressing my passion for colour, form, mass and movement.
