MessageCollection: LAYERED PAPER
The process involves layering paint, collage, paint and more paint, creating layers and layers with colours, shapes and designs that are scraped, sanded, scratched and dug into, repainted, revealing and leaving bits of the past, the history of each layer. A story emerges, your story, my story, that blends this history with the final design, which is rich in texture. The beauty is in the discovery, the rich surface and the hidden bits that can only be seen by getting close and exploring its secrets.
Based in London, Ontario, I am an artist who paints intuitively, inspired by memories of life in Haliburton, the quiet of rain on the water, the vibrant colours of the changing seasons and the sharp relief of different textures from the rugged rock cliffs, the struggling lone pine tree permanently misshapen by the wind or delicate wildflowers growing haphazardly about. My work is about the experiences and the memories that connect us.
