“My artwork is a collection of abstract oil paintings inspired by my interest in country life. My family and I recently moved from Toronto to Meaford, Ontario and it has ignited me with a new appreciation for nature and living a minimalist lifestyle. These are a few points i have tried to convey in my collection of ‘Workman’s Creek Landscapes.”
“The burning of the wood canvas is symbolic for me. Not only is burning an important step in forest rejuvenation and ecology; it is also a reminder for me to keep my work fresh and to keep evolving. I am a landscape designer by trade, but when I paint, my abstract style gives me the freedom to look at landscapes from a new perspective, which is constantly re-igniting my love for nature and keeps me inspired to keep doing what i love. “
