I create intuitively. This piece was part of a commission where I painted three pieces and the client chose two. I continued working on this one more in my own free style. It was also based on some small paintings I had done with these colors, but this one is totally different from all the others. I like the free movement, some of the shapes and yellow and blue and mauve just seem to work

I am a fairly quiet person,but a very loud painter. Where I might hesitate to make my feelings known verbally, I let my paintbrush speak. I paint quickly, mainly with acrylics, using blends of bold primary colours and very physical full-arm strokes. My internal dialogue and feelings are translated through movement into the work using a variety of markmaking tools. My process is playful and free. I enrolled in an adult art program in 2016 then followed my passion for abstraction to teachers who taught about risk taking and following your intuition. My studio is in a shared space in Toronto .
