In 1998 I began to lose my vision due to complications from Juvenile Diabetes, however thanks to wonderful surgeons I have regained partial vision in one of my eyes. My limited vision not only contributes greatly to my appreciation for the use of vivid and expressive colours, but has also given me the freedom to use my imagination rather than my eyes to create a piece of work which focuses more on emotion than on detail.
With every brushstroke I try to capture the joyful expressions of life and I attempt to create magnificent masses of luscious and sumptuous colour. A vivid colour palette, coupled with my desire to create movement makes my flowers an exuberant explosion of emotion which allows my paintings to dance and come to life.
Art is a very personal journey for me as it is an extension of the self. In my work I try to express my soul on canvas taking my inspiration from the beauty and sensuality of nature. "I try to create an emotional dialogue with the viewer through the use of vivid energy and flowing colour."
At present my paintings hang prominently in private collections across Canada, America, Britain, and Mexico.
