Artist Statement
Earth, this place where we live, filled with the dichotomies of nature, reverberates with all its beauty and flaws through our human existence. It is what sustains us and threatens us in equal measure. Exploring ideas around earthly dwelling and human psyche I created a series of storied pieces centred around a young girl
Two pieces included in the ASA curated exhibition titled Earth.

She Then is Still Now
oil on canvas, 10" x 12" Artist Statement Invisibility has always been a reality of the feminine realm and one that resonates more profoundly as we age. Using an image of my younger self – presented in soft translucent tones, entwined in ribbons of gentle greys and weaving vines – I am suggesting a lightness of impression, an invisibleness that signifies certain female tropes that abide with us throughout our lives. At the same time there’s a liveliness and energy echoed in the ribbons and vines along with the confident gaze and pose of the subject that acknowledges a strength that will last beyond what is first seen. Included in the ASA curated exhibition titled AGEism Showed at the Fish Creek Library, Calgary and the Glenrose Mezanine Gallery June thru December 2019 |
