As a mixed media non-representational abstract painter, I navigate my environment and daily interactions through an interplay of intuitive marks and gestures. My process involves layering, constructing, deconstructing, and reconstructing, resulting in a chaotic yet ultimately harmonious fusion of colors and textures. I defy traditional rules and embrace the beauty of clashing colors and evolving compositions.

Inspired by nature and my remote Island surroundings on Lake Superior, I find solace in the ever-changing light and landscapes that challenge me to constantly push the boundaries of my art. Trees and water are consistent elements that flow through my work, guiding me towards new discoveries and interpretations with every stroke.

I draw from a diverse array of mediums such as charcoal, graphite, gunpowder, sand, and more to infuse my artwork with a sense of depth and complexity that invites viewers to unravel its many layers. Each piece is a testament to my desire to bring beauty to the world and create something new and unique that resonates with others.

In my paintings, chaos gives way to order and clarity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a journey of discovery and interpretation. By merging photography with traditional painting techniques on paper, canvas, and wood panels, I strive to create a truly unique and captivating visual experience. My art is a reflection of the constant evolution of my surroundings, my emotions, and my creative process, inviting others to join me in exploring the endless possibilities of abstract expression.
