Artist Statement
Abstract art appeals to me personally. The ability of the artist to create a painting or sculpture from one’s imagination. utilizing a variety of media and tools is amazing.
Using professional acrylic paints, interior enamel and rust paints, I create unique abstract images in geometric and action painting styles. I focus on interesting shapes, vibrant colour, line and rhythm.
The abstract art that I create is for those individuals or businesses that are looking to invest in a piece of contemporary abstract art at an affordable price.
My Story
I was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba but grew up in Winnipeg.
Through my forty plus year business career, I was a recreational artist painting landscapes, still life, abstract cubist work and figurative paintings. Over the years I was inspired by a wide variety of artists such as the impressionists and post impressionists, the cubist painters Picasso and Braque, the Group of Seven and a host of landscape, still life, figurative and abstract artists.
Initially after my retirement in 2015, I painted in a number of different styles. In 2018 I attended an abstract painting workshop in Tucson, Arizona. Following that great experience I decided to pursue painting more seriously. Since then I have been building a portfolio of abstract paintings.
In December 2018, I secured studio space at Flatland Artist Studios in Regina. In July, 2022 I was asked to join the Regina Art Collective. As of December 2022, I have had two solo shows and one group show with the Regina Art Collective.
