My Work
I create landscape paintings with vivid colour, bold contrasts, and hard, clean lines. My most recent completed works are based on Georgian Bay, ON. Currently, I am working on urban landscapes of Toronto with an emphasis on the pedestrian point-of-view.
I work with acrylic paint and on canvases with a 1.5 inch profile that are painted entirely — the painting continues around the edges. I also paint with contrasting textures to add to the three-dimensional quality of my paintings.
My style is simple and vibrant. I aim to create rich, dynamic landscapes by balancing clean lines and shapes with bold colours and high-contrast palettes.
