Born and raised in Canada, I obtained a degree in Fine Art and Theatre at the University of Victoria before moving to London to pursue a career in theatre. I made props and scenic elements for many west end shows before deciding a few years ago to re-engage with my art practice, completing an MA in Drawing at Camberwell College of Art in 2008.
My drawings reflect a need to escape the hectic pace of city life and to make time for contemplation of the natural world. Devoid of intrusive figures, they attempt to conjure up elements of the sublime in images of water, fields and forests. Their monochrome tones also suggest and make reference to archival black and white photography, and the timelessness of their subject matter.
