Artist Statement

My love of the outdoors and the natural world has inspired me to try and distill the essence of the northern landscape.

My passion is to use this intimate knowledge of the woods, waters and rocks to simplify the complexity of colour and shape to the absolute essentials.

bio

Her love of the outdoors and the natural world has inspired her to “try and distill the essence of the northern landscape” in her acrylic paintings of northern landscapes. She uses her intimate knowledge of the woods, waters, and rocks to simplify the complexity of colour and shape to the absolute essentials, enabling the viewer to feel the scene and become a part of it.
