I am a visual artist whose primary media is ink and charcoal.  My work revolves around play and analysis, not dissimilar to my sense of humour.  Through my drawings I explore shapes with dynamic shadows, which to me are deep signatures of reality.  Machine parts, which are commonly seen as the antithesis of beauty, offer a clean slate for me to act as a vulture and pick out what is interesting.  An avid board gamer, I also bask in thought conflagrations and the interconnectedness of ideas.  I am seduced by simplicity but cannot resist complexity.

In 2018 my MFA thesis exhibition entitled “Splash Zones” mixed sketchbook experimentation with analytic obsession.  I wrestled for months translating Joyce’s Finnegans Wake to drawings and found inspiration from chair shadows, tractors and chess pieces.

I currently live in Cumberland, BC, Canada and continue to create and show my drawings.  In The Mouka-Both show in Feb of 2022, I explored the relationship between machines and the natural environment.  Coffee shops and cafes are my primary creative environment for the sketchbook, and allow me to be extroverted in my introversion.
