My artwork takes a days hike in nature, chops it up and remixes it with colored graphic shapes and patterns. Vast landscapes are created by collaging several digital images together. Acrylic paint is used in between each layer creating atmospheric depth. The result is a surreal and tangible sense of depth like what you would experience viewing diorama in a natural history museum. This depth combined with blue and gray undertones conjures feelings of being left alone and exposed in the deepest parts of the Canadian wild. In contrast, graphic shapes in the foreground are saturated with juicy warm colors inspired by our urban surroundings offering familiarity and a certain charm. Selected wildlife are the focal point of the composition often found moving in a celebratory and joyful way.
