I am a Comox Valley artist painting my world in acrylic and mixed media. Art became my passion and my solace during the home stretch of medical practice after three decades as a Vancouver family doctor. COVID and a health crisis intensifed my dive toward abstraction.
My work often reflects my inner world, at other times I am inspired by what I see around me. Colour/texture/shape make up my language; layering paint and collage, using tools to add/subtract, scraping away what’s not needed until I find the balance .
Art can often reflect the world that surround us; layered in complexity, it is often interpreted with a personal filter. I am excited to have the viewer get drawn in to the mystery that I present to them, coming up for a closer look.
I believe people see what they need to see, and hope that my art enriches their experience.
