| Artist Statement: | As a Calgary-based contemporary abstract expressionist, I am drawn to the infinite possibilities of creating abstract art and the equal amount of responses received by each unique piece. My work as an abstract artist has taken me on an exciting journey of self-discovery and self-expression. Releasing my energy upon the canvas is exhilarating! The intent of my paintings is to leave viewers’ inspired as I express my inner soul through a sub-conscious guidance using a variety of colors, forms and textures. The versatility of acrylics allows me to create depth by applying texture using various mediums. I enjoy experimenting with new techniques, ideas and mediums; that’s what makes being an artist so much fun! It is very important that each painting is an honest reflection of myself and is expressed in its own unique way. I am constantly striving to learn and grow as a person and as an artist. My work will always be true to who I am. As long as I truly love each and every piece, I believe I have succeeded. |
