ARTIST STATEMENT

My paintings are all inspired by movement and dynamic colour - in bright flowers, Nova Scotian sunsets, local landscapes and the Atlantic Ocean. By using vibrant colours and bold strokes, my work reflects an exaggerated, painterly style - one that I hope conveys what I am both seeing and feeling.
