Creativity has always been an integral part of my life. From early
childhood, I have drawn, painted and sewn. Later on, I studied fine
art at Langara College and design at Humber College in Toronto
- perpetuating my love of both art & design.
For most of my life I have been a professional graphic designer.
The opportunity to become employed as a "creative" in the business
world proved alluring. However, it was working at one of Vancouver's
leading exhibit design firms that gave me a glimpse of combining
mediums and lead to a new discovery: paintings can be 3-dimensional;
they can communicate through multiple layers; they can have emotion.
It is this blend of experiences that has molded my style as a collage
and assemblage artist. My work uses layers of typography, transfered
imagery, textiles, paint & 3-dimensional found objects. I have a great
need to make my ideas tangible - manifesting them into something
I can touch. My art permits me to think less and feel more. Enjoy! |
