  • Personal Artist's Statement Why Do I Do What I
    Personal Artist’s Statement Why do I do what I do? Honestly, I don’t really know. I know it makes me happy. It makes me think. When I’m working, time ceases to exist. Dire situations in my life did not permit me to go to art school, but I continued to paint on the side until I could make it my profession. Maybe this is what makes my work and style unique. I’m inspired by what I read and the music I listen to, the movies I watch and art that makes me think. I try to embody these in my work with simplicity and a good measure of Chekhov’s humour. In every work, I have a subtle message that I’ve hidden away in plain sight. Sometimes I even forget that they’re in there. I begin my process by writing notes, collecting visuals and sketching ideas, preferably with a theme in mind. This gives me the parameters to work within, like following a script while shooting a movie. Then, I choose the materials that will best express the idea I want to convey. Once the work has started, a great deal of improvisation comes into play. Constrained by space in my working environment, I prefer working on canvas cloth as it allows me the flexibility of rolling and storing. The rest of my materials involve digital mediums as well as oils, acrylic and water colours. This, with the tools I have at my disposal in this digital age, is the thrust of my current crop of work: We are being bombarded with news, imagery and ideas from a billion sources simultaneously.
