The studio when all new and clean
I am a Canadian living in Vancouver BC. I've exhibited in solo and group shows in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Miami, Bedminster, New Jersey, and Newfoundland and online at All Systems Nervous, Curating Contemporary and Galerie Cerulean. My work was presented by the Jeffrey Boone Gallery of Vancouver at the Toronto International Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair in Miami
I spend much of my time in nature as a hiker, camper, backpacker. My response to my experience in nature including the human as part of nature is reflected in the work I make. The state of the world as I experience it creeps into the work, perhaps in a subliminal way.
