ARTIST STATEMENT

Art has always been my preferred means of expression, a passion that began in childhood. Inspired by the colors of nature and the striking imagery I’ve encountered through travel, painting has become my creative sanctuary—an escape where I can reflect and immerse myself in the moment.

I am deeply committed to creating artwork that celebrates the beauty of Calgary and contributes to its vibrant arts and culture scene. As someone who has chosen to live, raise my family, and build my artistic career here, I strive to create meaningful pieces that will be cherished by my fellow Calgarians for generations to come.
