Artist Statement
My paintings are fuelled by a passion for colour and shape. I paint in watercolour and acrylic but also I create mixed media works. Nature inspires my landscapes and florals. This year, I am working on a series of paintings that feature Ottawa: its landscapes, its urban scenes, landmarks, and surrounding areas.
