ABOUT
I work across painting, moving image and photography, exploring our relationship with the natural world, with one another, and with the places we inhabit. Having lived in different environments, I have become increasingly aware of how the landscapes around us influence our sense of place, identity and belonging. Here on Canada's Pacific coast, forests, mountains, shorelines and open space remain a powerful presence in everyday life. I am particularly drawn to the quiet intelligence of the natural world — the balance, cooperation and interdependence through which life sustains itself. I believe these relationships can also influence the way we live and relate to one another. Across different mediums and subjects, my work reflects a continuing interest in the world around us, and in how we experience and respond to it.
