"​I have an unspoken, ingrained sense to make. My understanding of life’s journey develops through working with the visual. Their meanings become more purposeful through the creation process. I see an object or an intention and the paint brush leads the way. With each brush stroke it sculpts the colour into form and comes to life. Understanding my compositions after the fact then is the story told. I find most powerful connections come to life when ​exploring the human spirit and offerings of our country."
