Artist Statement

My paintings are simultaneous explorations of what I see and feel in the landscape.

I use bright colours, wandering lines and geometric shapes to interpret the world around me. My work is primarily process-driven. This approach allows me to remain playful and experimental as the paintings develop, engaging in a ‘call and response’ with the work until we agree that it’s finished.

While I love the expansiveness and freedom of working large, I’m equally drawn to paintings you can hold in your hand. Small works invite you in and make you wonder what might be just beyond the edge.

Biography

Ever-inspired by the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, her work captures the energetic, expansive and untethered feelings she experiences when hiking a mountain trail or wandering the rocky, ocean shore.

Her work has been exhibited locally at Black Sugar Coffee House and Willow and Wallflower. She loves social media and regularly shares her work and her process on Instagram.
