Painting

Painting

My abstract paintings are a study of being in silence and space, a meditation where identity dissolves and barriers that separate humankind disappear. As an artist I work to led the viewer beyond the limitations of cultural differences and the vast distances that divide societies.

Works on Paper

Drawing Memories

Flower artwork on paper made in Brigus Newfoundland at Kent Cottage

Invited by Rooms Gallery to Kent Cottage as resident artist in 2019. I worked with the land to produce 100 artworks on paper. These graffiti style botanical illustrations respond to divided times, tales of immigration while calling for compassion. Thanks to Landfall Trust, 

and the community of Brigus, Newfoundland.

Drawing Memories

Drawing Memories

Donovan installation is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Sudbury. An illustrated story of memories of the Union Hall

My drawings lead the viewer to see their own connection or disconnection to moments in time. As an artist, I work to express a quiet reflection regardless of the differences in race, religion, sex, abilities while supporting a healthy unified community.

Colour Box

Adding Colour / Color to seniors lives - seniors residency living / senior care

Colour affects how a person feels and spaces call home. My artist practice adds colour to the lives of seniors living with Dementia. Deinstitutionalize a room or a retirement residences facility by adding colour and bring colourful memories back for life.

Public Art & Mentorship

HotBox mentorship project supports the development of artists by creating outdoor sculpture in public spaces. Visitors experience natural site specific installations in the park while outside of the gallery setting.
