This painting is over top of a neutral painting that I just found was too dark and not inspired. I like the deep red colours though raspberry colour and I wanted to make larger marks because it’s a big piece so there is energy here and I also wanted to just try and and let things happen. As soon as I start to force things, it doesn’t work. At one point I began stamping to have a little variation in the texture but mostly this is just about pure colour and energy.

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 .
