My Story
|
|
I am a mixed media artist based in Surrey BC. I create colorful and expressive paintings depicting landscapes, birds and figures in compositions. My art is recognizable and often includes patterns, mandalas, text or rich layers. I utilizes a variety of materials and tools to create my art, such as paper, fabric, acrylic paint, palette knives and stencils. I have a prior professional background in physiotherapy and administration, which has given me the tools to be self motivated, organized and a lifelong believer in health and wellness. My artistic background in quilting helps to guide my unique design choices, and has pushed me to utilize pattern in an organic way to represent subjects or to frame nature. To connect the structure of quilting to the subject of my work, I incorporate layers, mosaic effects, and geometric shapes. Travels to Europe, Asia and Morocco have greatly influence my love of pattern, history and art. I seek to connect these memories in a decorative way to my West Coast life and surroundings.
I am an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and show my work in various art shows and galleries. I currently serve on the board of directors of the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society, and am committed to supporting the local art community. I am teaching mixed media painting classes at the South Surrey Recreation Centre (see below). And in good weather during the Summer, I can be found painting outdoors and showing my work on the Artist’s Walk at White Rock Beach.
