Artist Statement
I was raised and continue to reside in the beautiful province of Alberta, Canada. I drew at a very young age the typical things kids do such as copies of cartoons in the newspaper and such. Some thirty years later my art career recently and quite accidentally came back to life. After working in the business world I found myself with some free time to ‘stretch’ the right side of my brain, particularly in music and art. After exploring the world of piano playing (A professional classical pianist I shall never be!) I decided to tackle drawing once again. I dusted off my pencils and discovered a suppressed aptitude for art. With gusto I jumped bank in and have never looked back. I’m a self taught artist motivated and influenced by the styles and work ethic of the masters whose works hang on the decorated walls of galleries and museums I have visited worldwide, a highlight of any trip.
My work studio is quite simple, a small easel on a kitchen table with classical music streaming from the radio. Here I delve into the world depicted in my latest work. The subject matter is drawn from images experienced through travel, local hikes or domestic scenes within the confines of home.
I’m naturally drawn to urban landscapes, sculpture and still life scenes full of structure and angles; however, I’ve recently ventured into natural landscapes. My artistic style of choice is drawing with coloured pencil and ink, and sometimes a touch of acrylic. I strive for illusionistic realism. My goal first is to grab the viewers’ attention through bright, vibrant colours, then hopefully lead them towards an emotional connection with their own life experience.
I strive for each work to be unique and identifiable through style and presentation. An observer once described my pieces as gem-like, almost stained glass in effect. That sounds good to me! I hope you enjoy my paintings as I continue to explore the wonderful world of art.
