The Why.

I want people to feel the awe and wonder of nature. Art has given me a way to share and express my own experiences.

The How.

These works are my own large scale photographs that I've enhanced and edited with acrylic paint, blurring the lines between photography and painting. Using thin washes of paint and etching into the emulsion of the photo, the images become tactile and painterly in some areas while remaining photographic sharp in other areas. The seamless blend between the two techniques makes each image completely unique.

For You.

Our homes are our sanctuary. It's where we hold our prized possessions, our memories and where we are free to be ourselves. We have our favourite books, photos of friends, family, and travels and maybe your favourite song plays in the background. Art is also a personal, soul nurturing thing that energizes your life, transforms your space and elevates your emotional state.
