ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork has a playful, often whimsical quality to it, with a touch of folk art charm. While my paintings may seem light-hearted at first glance, there's a deeper narrative waiting to be explored. It's this combination of visual appeal and intellectual engagement that creates a sense of curiosity for audiences.
My artistic interests span a diverse range of subjects, drawing inspiration from the emotional impact of our interior spaces, to the serene coastlines of the east, and the rugged landscapes of the near north.
Currently, I've been creating a series of paintings touching on personal interior/exterior environments. I'm thinking about how we impact our spaces, whether creating a sense of home on the landscape or leaving a personal mark in our interiors. This idea is very appealing to me. I feel the subjects such as chairs, items on a table, lamps, tents, and plants, are all ‘living objects'...my pictures are giving us a glimpse into their world.
