Artist Statement
I believe that everything is connected. Plants, humans, the natural environment, technology etc., are all united. Many of my works reflect the forms and colours found in West Coast "First Nations" art in Canada. It is therefore possible that ties to the aboriginal culture of BC and Vancouver Island, through both my past childhood and intimate relationships, could have an external effect on my work.
A self-taught graphic and web designer, my passion for this field of work is greatly influenced by an immense curiosity of visual communication as well as the rich vibrant colours of fine art giclee prints. I produce fine art prints using technically advanced, large format printers. I am also drawn to the colours, shapes and assymetry of abstract art very alluring and sensual. My artistic direction, which is at times both conscious and voluntary or unconscious and involuntary, is not directly under my control. I am fascinated by this unkown element, dimension or energy that is constant and influencing.
