My Story

As a graduate of The Art Institute of Toronto, I carried on the artistic legacy set by my family's creative pursuits of painting, collage, and sculpting. With a foundation in fine and digital arts and a fascination of space-time, my artwork is rooted in traditional art theories and explores modern interpretations of temporal and spacial beauty.

“rooted in traditions”

To start, I hosted intimate art shows in my apartment until my art found a home at the Robert Kananaj Gallery in Toronto, where I exhibited for many years until COVID lock-downs. I relocated to Selwyn, Ontario where being immersed in nature helped breathe life back into my artistic spirit and passions.

“temporal and spacial beauty”

Creating art empowers me to circumvent my dyslexia and physically grapple with the tangled pieces of myself, and our world. The whole process helps me heal, celebrate life, and find new beautiful forms to share with others.

After becoming more confident in my work I began developing a more consistent style with the swiping technique. My pieces developed with the concept that the paint being dropped onto the canvas represented isolated ideas; and a continuous swipe across them represented time passing, which pushed the isolated parts together into a smooth inter-playing of ideas.

Later I explored using latex paints and experimented using many different homemade tools to drip the paint onto the canvas. I loved the freedom it gave me to apply the paint in organic and dynamic ways. After swiping across the surfaces, these paintings resembled a mix between Jackson Pollock’s drip works and Gerhard Richter’s squeegee paintings.

Now, I incorporate rolling and folding the paintings to explore including a third temporal and spacial dimensions to my art.
