Artist Statement

I am a visual artist living in Vancouver on the unceded, shared territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

After extensive exploration in various artistic styles such as High Realism, I have immersed myself in Hard Edge Geometric painting.

I use geometric shapes and patterns in all of my paintings. My painting process relies on complex masking and a layered construction. Each colour is masked and painted separately as I don’t tend to paint over another colour so It can be a time intensive process.

My representational paintings begin with photographs that I digitally simplify through pixelation before reconstructing them with different geometric patterns. Each pattern alters how the eye moves across the surface and reshapes the viewer's perception of the subject, allowing the image to shift between clarity and abstraction.

My non-representational works are more intuitive, how colours and the geometric forms work together. Shapes are arranged to suggest movement, rhythm, balance and depth. I’m drawn to how the colours and geometric shapes can push and pull on the canvas and how it can create visual tension and or visual harmony and balance.
