Opening reception:
November 2 | 7:30 pm
My paintings document the landscapes of Ontario. I’m drawn to the elements that are constantly changing – the sky, light and shadow. I tend to focus on the most changeable parts of the scene – the clouds and colours, particularly between day and dusk. The impermanence of the clouds and light from moment to moment is my primary interest as a painter.
The horizon line is often placed low in the paintings, allowing me to fully explore and place emphasis on the sky. The colours used are often saturated and interpretive, creating a heightened sense of drama and mood.
