For as long as I remember I have loved art. Born in Toronto, I was provided with a colourful world full of inspiration. Toronto’s vast diversity of race, religion and lifestyle surrounded my daily life. From an early age my parents were instrumental in allowing me to explore and learn from my surroundings. As life and priorities changed, I put art aside, went to University and began my career. Recently my passion was reborn. It re-ignited my child-like enthusiasm for art. In hindsight, my art work as a child is a microcosm of my work today, impulsive, vibrant and emotional.
I believe that art connects us. It has the ability to link people through shared experiences – artist to viewer, viewer to viewer, viewer to artist – reaching all those who create, see and experience it. It goes beyond the image you have chosen to create, the feelings you have chosen to express or the story you have chosen to tell. It reestablishes our connection to each other and reminds us that nothing is ever really separate.
