I am a painter and pianist who believes that art and music have close ties: elements of rhythm, harmony and texture being equally present in each creative facet. Colour represents melodic shape and tone, composition being primary in both.
My work is
based on textured acrylic paint that produces a rich and colourful composition. I construct framed panels on mahogany plywood to support the weight and the material composition of my paintings. The black lines in the work protrude giving the appearance
that it is carved out of the board it is painted on.
After studing at Emily Carr for three years, I returned to complete my studies in music and achieved an A.L.C.M. from the London College of Music in England.
I see art making as a process from
start to finish and an experimentation in materials and creativity.
My motto is: "Believe in your dreams, you can make them come true".
