Since graduating from Emily Carr University in 2009, I have focused on painting, creating both abstract and representational works. I work in various media; at the moment, most of my work is in oil and cold wax. The subtext for my work is usually my concern for the environment and biodiversity. But often I simply paint what interests me visually. Painting is an act of exploration. Through the process, I identify and express thoughts, feelings and philosophies that guide my life. Painting helps me make sense of my experience living in this era of history.
