ABOUT THE ARTIST

A MODERN VOICE WITH TIMELESS INFLUENCES

​

"I create art with both my hands and my brushes—whatever the moment calls for. Sometimes I crave the immediacy and texture of finger painting; other times I lean into the control and detail that brushes offer. I love the freedom to shift between techniques and styles, and I tend to follow my curiosity. I get bored staying in one style for too long, so my work ranges from realistic pieces to impressionistic and even abstract explorations. That constant evolution keeps my creative process alive.

​

My work is rooted in Canadian wildlife, spirituality, and the deep connection we share with nature. I also paint large-scale murals and, more recently, expressive portraits of music legends. Whether I’m working small or covering an entire wall, I aim to capture energy, emotion, and movement.

People often describe my style as bold, textured, and full of life—echoing the expressive strokes of Van Gogh while remaining unmistakably my own."
