artist’s statement

These pieces are created by layers of paint, drawing, collage, and fibre. Design, craft, architecture, street art, and nature are the main influences in my artwork. Common themes that run through the work are: the future, balance of nature and human development, relationships, and communication.

As in all parts of my life, I endeavour to create artwork that uses locally-found, recycled, and sustainable materials as much as possible. In these works, I use acrylic paint made right here in Vancouver, Canada, and reuse post-consumer waste such as newspaper, cardboard, magazines, packaging, and clothing.
