I am a Vancouver-based artist whose constant subject is the city and everything that surrounds it. Jericho Beach at low tide, Pacific Spirit Park through the changing seasons, the Sea-to-Sky and the islands and inlets beyond. They are familiar landscapes, and that is precisely what draws me back.

My work begins with a photograph and moves through layers of digital painting and acrylic before it finds its final form. Sometimes it ends on canvas. Sometimes on a resin-finished wood panel that deepens the colour and shifts with every hour of light. Always it begins with a moment that asked to be interpreted.

If you have ever stood somewhere familiar and felt something shift, a quality of light, a pause in the noise, the sudden sense that you are seeing a place for the first time, that is where my work lives.
