Artist’s Statement:

I’m a Toronto-based painter working in oil + acrylic.

My work exists in a tension between solitude and belonging- the need for distance, and the risk of becoming isolated.

I paint from observation, adjusting forms to inhabit the conflict we feel as individuals living together - with each other and our world.
