Painting, Landscape, Abstract
A graduate of the former Alberta College of Art, I am a multi-media artist living and working in Calgary since 1994. My earlier works employed shredded paper as a medium, exploring ideas of layering materials such as shredded newsprint, returned banking cheques, personal files, $2 bills obtained from the Bank of Canada, etc. In recent years, I have lent my creative energy to a few different art collectives and curatorial projects that expanded my art making practice.
It was here that I began to rediscover my love of drawing, painting, photography and fibre arts, incorporating these practices into installation style work, collaborating with colleagues to explore theme based concepts. It was because of these collaborative experiences, that lead me to my current practice of working in watercolours, playing with technique and the serendipitous nature of the medium.
