About the work

I am a visual artist who creates figurative drawings, etchings and paintings that capture glimpses of everyday life. I utilize expressive marks and unusual viewpoints to delicately define my compositions and create a visual narrative that describes the character and story of my subjects. I strive to create art that engages the viewer with familiar themes, allowing them to connect through their own personal experiences or ideas.

My Northeast Mini Gallery artwork is titled Evelyn and was inspired by a poem written by a friend, which is in the wallpaper backdrop. Evelyn is a simple, charming, elderly lady who enjoys the quaint ritual of afternoon tea. She symbolizes a friendly invitation to neighbours to enjoy teatime together.

Northeast Calgary is a multicultural community with people from many different backgrounds. Tea is also a multicultural beverage and its enjoyment is universal. Drinking tea always involves a little ritual where the tea is steeped and then poured into a special cup. It can be enjoyed alone but is more pleasant when savoured in the company of friends. I believe almost everyone would agree that a cup of tea with neighbours is a lovely way for people to form friendships.
