To create is to breathe, to feel, to form a sort of connectivity between the physical material and the expression of my soul, my mind, and my experiences of the world I live in. This love affair I have with art and creativity holds my interest in a wide variety of mediums. As of recent, I am fondest of intaglio, serigraphy, and relief methods of printmaking, as well as painting, and mixed media drawing. Digital media, such as photography and video, also intrigue me from time to time. This provides a great means of inspiration for works done with more tactility. In the creation of each piece, I intellectually engage in an act of interpretation by evaluating my emotions and perceptions of how I both see and feel the world that surrounds me. The process in which I construct each piece and the cognitive engagement of the individuals viewing the final work are what I truly enjoy about being an artist.
Stylistic features found in my work tend to stem from geometric, organized compositions. These are coupled with feminine figure-forms that are presented either representational or abstract fashion.. Overall, it is the initial figurative imagery that inspires the creation of hard lined shapes that I break down into geometric forms. I then use colour to celebrate the aura of the work and the essence of emotion it is to convey. Bright and often unpredictable colour combinations are apparent when coupled with varied techniques of application across the mediums in which I choose to work in. When working with colour, I resonate with the fact that each hue has a frequency. This energy and beauty of every hue speaks to me and, in turn, inspires each and every work.
Having been greatly influenced by the softness and femine forms used by Edgar Degas, the characteristic application of paint used by Vincent Van Gogh, I have learned to appreciate what the creative process in art really means. The emotional application of pastel and paint give life to each piece. Not only does this grab my attention, but tells me a story of how each piece came into being. More recent inspiration to me is comes from several artists whom I have been instructed by at the Medicine Hat College. The realism of Laara Cassel’s painting, the free and energetic marks of Poul Nielsen, the line work of Craig Cote’s etchings, and atmospheric movements that is both dynamic and serene in the works of Mato Higashitani; all inspire me to explore countless possibilities in my own work. Another source of inspiration to me is the dynamic, illustrative, colour-packed style of work by Sarah Wilson, an artist and a friend. The intense colours and heavy use of lines in her pieces ignite my inner passion for art. She inspires me to achieve a higher sense of self and spirituality in my own work: a sort of enlightenment.
What is seen, what is communicated, and how artwork is understood by others is a constant fascination for me. I believe creation and interpretation of art generates awareness: awareness of the world, how it works, and how all function within it. This search for an ethereal connection between art and how it is experienced is essential to me. I feel that this connection is important to not only understanding art or the world, but to understanding life, itself.
