Artist Biography and Statement:

As a young adult I settled in the village of Peggy’s Cove Nova Scotia.  I think of Art as the most important conversation or movement for human beings. It is about the whole world, how we relate to it, live with it. Making art allows me a space to live with uncertainty. I make art works using paint on canvas and also charcoal and pastel on paper. Drawing establishes and defines an awareness of my physical body in action in the world. Painting focuses my attention on the landscape immediately near me, defines my relationship with it. I paint people I know in order to explore what responsibility means to me, and to understand my love. My studied subjects become as much of a medium for me as the paint and brushes that I use to explore, discover and investigate new perspectives.
