ARTIST STATEMENT

I was introduced to drawing, painting, print making and sculpture in the studio courses that were part of an art history degree at the University of Western Ontario. 

Although I use a variety of materials and paints in my art, recently I've found that cold wax and oil is the medium which allows me the most freedom or expression. The viscosity and texture of wax and oil satisfies my need to work with tactile materials. The wax and oil can be thin and delicate, or it can be a thick and organic surface. The layering of the paint and wax builds a history on the canvas and a story in the paint. 

“Finding your own” is both the objective and the challenge for me. My work is an attempt to translate my intellectual, emotional and in some instances, physical response to the subject.
