Artist Statement
My work comes out of a desire to create invitations to contemplation and to counter hastiness. It is through contemplation that one becomes truly aware and open to life: to the beauty and transcendencies in the
ordinary. I paint what I know so that the truth of my own experience will resonate with the viewer, and will invite them to enter the moment and just be.
Growing up on the prairies has given me a particular aesthetic, and I tend to be drawn to
subject matter that has a minimal, spacious and peaceful quality. I collect images constantly - during purposeful walks or trips with my camera, or in unexpected opportune moments. I choose images that provoke a visceral response: a roadside transformed
into the sublime by the setting sun, or a canola field brilliant under a cathedral sky. The subject matter and the feeling I am trying to convey determine the way I use the paint and the size of the work. Consistent in all of my work is an attention to
color. I notice colors that may or may not exist in reality but contribute to a feeling of realness, luminosity and vibration in the painting.
My current work is a continuation in my pursuit of fluency. My life in Saskatchewan provides the
material with which to practice. A successful painting requires an initial enchantment with the subject matter and an inner confidence and optimism while painting. As I continue to paint what is around me, both elements are constantly renewed.
