Artist Statement:
Hello Esquimalt! I am a proud member of this vibrant community, living right down the street in the best place I’ve ever lived for these past 5 years. I’m excited to share my work in such a beautiful space. My work explores the emotional impact of colour. Influenced by a background in visual design, I approach composition with clarity and restraint, using bold palettes and simplified forms to create work that feels both intentional and instinctive.
Rooted in a mid-century sensibility, my paintings draw on familiar colour relationships and graphic language to evoke a sense of nostalgia, then push them to a heightened intensity. The result is a visual experience that feels like a punch to the senses - simultaneously magnetic, jarring, and unexpectedly calming.
Resin is central to this process. It is a demanding and unpredictable medium that resists control, amplifying both colour and surface to an almost unreal level of gloss. I am drawn to its challenges; each piece becomes a negotiation between precision and surrender.
I am interested in the duality of colour—its ability to be both serene and overwhelming—and how that tension can create a visceral, almost immediate emotional response.
