Grateful. Landscape artist and Critical Care Nurse.
The love for nature, watching the ever-changing light and mood with different seasons or times of day is what inspires and challenges me to capture the beauty of the world in my art.
I never tire of watching a dynamic stormy sky, a vibrant canola field, a gnarly tree covered in moss or a bee buzzing about a flower. I always keep an open mind when I study nature and imagine my next painting. My style is impressionistic and contemporary, using bright bold colors and lots of texture. I like to play with light and shadows and pay close attention to colour theory.
To me, the beauty of painting is the freedom to alter reality and make it the way I would like it to be. I always feel there is something exciting about a blank canvas and bringing it to life. I work quickly, often only pausing to step back and then continuing until the painting is finished.
I would like for people to re-connect with nature, to remember what is truly meaningful in life. That the most precious and important things in life aren't things at all.
