A Multidimensional Approach

In the past, I told stories through painting,

but over time my artistic expression has developed further

with the incorporation of photography and video into my practice,

capturing the essence of human experiences and the environments we inhabit.

My work revolves around displaying artwork and videos that explore

community and personal values that we all share.

I also delve into the various types of environments we encounter,

whether natural, built, social, psychological and/or the spiritual,

and how these spaces influence our lives.

Several decades of meditation practise has also influenced and shaped my work as I increasingly develop an understanding of this adventure we call “life”.

Art has the power to inspire, challenge, and transform us,

and whether you are looking for a specific piece

or simply want to explore the power of art,

I invite you to join me on this journey.

Background and Education

Initially studying art education at UBC, I was influenced and developed strong painting skills by studying under some of Canada's greatest artists and educators.

(Gordon Smith, Jim Macdonald, Doris Livingston, Sinclair Healy, and Bob Steele were a few).

This led me to attend OCADU in Toronto, where I again studied under a handful of some of Canada's prominent contemporary and conceptual artists, Liz Magor, Colette Whiten, Tom Dean, Lisa Steele, Barbara Astman, and lan Carr Harris.

After placing my attention further into painting, photography, film, and video, I graduated with Honours and then moved over to London, spending several decades living there and ended up at the Royal College of Art, in the School of Communication, where I completed my Masters Degree in Visual Communication, working within the Moving Image programme. Here I deepened my understanding of storytelling and sharing of ideas through visual mediums.
