I love bright, vibrant colours, and my interpretation of the world around me through art always seems to reflect that. Being slightly colour blind I never know what the viewer of my art really sees. I paint primarily in acrylic. But pastels are the medium I love the best, as it is such a tactile experience.
My choices of subject matter are animals and nature as they allow me to create unusual colour combinations. Living in Calgary with the mountains so close the subject matter is endless, I particularly love the fall season, when nature provides such a spectacular array of vibrant colours. I have studied with some amazing instructors in Calgary and Europe over the past 10 years, but always tend to just go my own way. I admire art that is picture perfect, but it is too confining for me, I want to colour outside the lines. I don’t think, I just paint |
