My work draws inspiration from the organic shapes of the West Coast landscape, and when I have moved, my marks and palette have changed along with my location. My artwork aims to provoke a mood inspired by the rain, the ocean, or the mountains; my colour choice is reminiscent of the earth and its natural qualities.

After Exposure is a series of paintings where the source imagery was from a book of photographs by Canadian photographers. The imagery aims to provoke contemplation through its queer and non-sensical nature.

These works were derived from an intuitive approach, calling upon my memory of the landscape. They form the basis that has informed the current series of paintings that I am working on.
