My Story
Painting is how I make sense of the world. Living and working here in West Vancouver, I’m constantly surrounded by the pull between wild, rugged nature and the rhythm of daily life. What starts as a shift in afternoon light, a sudden thought, or a quiet memory gradually finds its way onto the canvas as an intuitive story in colour.
My Process
In the studio, my approach is hands-on, fast-moving, and physical. I work with high-quality acrylics, building dynamic layers without rigid plans or templates. I let the paint follow instincts and momentum, balancing bold colour choices with active texture so every piece carries a distinct, living pulse.
My Vision
I don’t think art should just sit quietly on a wall – it should change the energy of the room. Whether you’re finding the right anchor for your home or selecting work for a commercial project, my focus is creating pieces that hold real presence, spark conversation, and bring vitality to the spaces where life happens.
