ARTIST STATEMENT

I have always found that Art has been my preferred means of expression, starting at an early age. Inspired by the colours of nature and the captivating images that I have experienced while traveling, painting has become my creative outlet where I can escape from the day to day and enjoy quiet moments of reflection.

I am committed to creating artwork that promotes and celebrates the City of Calgary and enhances the arts and culture scene. As someone that has chosen to live, raise my family and build my art career in Calgary, I truly value impactful artwork that will be cherished by my children and Calgarians alike.
