I was raised a Catholic and find myself returning to understand and make peace with that faith having left it long ago. My search for my Creator has never left me, and in this work I imagine a Creator above and worshippers below. The worshippers are created from watercolour paper and painted in acrylics with the colours of humanity, while the Creator is bronze washers and painted watercolour paper in elevating and energetic colours. All pieces of paper have been mounted on a painted, floating canvas.

I am a self-taught visual artist, as well as a regularly published fiction writer and multi-optioned screenwriter. I’m grateful to have an international reach in all the arts I practice, as connecting to things and people outside my experience excites me and makes me happy. To me, life is mysterious and spiritual, and when it needs to be spoken of, I think art, any art, is the best language to speak about that mystery. I work with papers, acrylics and mixed medias, often in relief style where my works have the qualities of abstract painting, design, and sculpture all bound dramatically and beautifully together. I think this is the result of a night in Niagara Falls when I was 6 years old. Ask me about that if we meet in person.
