Artist Statement

I am inspired by an admiration of the historic architecture found in the Halifax area, and by a desire to preserve this heritage through my work. I use ink with my watercolours to highlight the decorative details of the old buildings depicted in my city scenes. I find light, shadows and reflections fascinating, and endeavor to capture these aspects to bring life and movement into my paintings.
