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 which lead to a new discovery: paintings can be dimensional; they can communicate through multiple layers; they emote.
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! |
