I am interested in the amalgamation of abstraction and representation: a liminal space encompassing a fusion of subject disciplines. A few years ago, I started to paint plant-inspired organic shapes.

My paintings ‘Lost Out Here’ and ‘Wandering

My paintings ‘Lost Out Here’ and ‘Wandering’ (both 48x36 inches and both oil)
are currently exhibited at the Tofino Gallery of Contemporary Art. The next images show the paintings individually.

My newer works extend organic forms into abstracted spaces and landscapes. I am interested in the amalgamation of abstraction and representation. In times like these I prefer to explore fantasy landscapes.

A friend of mine recently posted a quote by the American writer Toni Morrison from 2015, which I would like to mention as well. She said:
"There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge - even wisdom. Like Art."
