Statement
From my studio in Almonte, Ontario Canada I love to play with the juxtaposition of my two loves: classical drawing, and street art. The charcoal and sanguine drawings of the great masters and the work of the great stencil artist Shepard Fairey are a huge inspiration. Stencils and pattern are almost always present in my work. Recently I have started using vegetation and spray paint to create misty landscapes onto which I paint the birds that dot the canadian landscape. Working in collections allows me to batch my paintings by subject matter and colour palette. I love operating with a production line. I line up all my canvas and paint my backgrounds, then darks, followed by mid-tones and lights. Being a full time High School teacher and mother to three sons means my studio time is precious and this system has proven very efficient. I am a vetted artist with Global Affairs Canada and have the pleasure of showcasing my work in Embassies and Consulates across the globe. I attribute my diverse style to my teaching career as what I am in the midst of teaching in the classroom inevitably spills into the studio. From highly detailed charcoal drawings to colourful loose paintings my subject matter focuses on the diversity and beauty of the Canadian flora and fauna. All my art is scanned for prints and licensing. For wholesale pricing and licensing opportunities I can be contacted at [email protected]
