Artist Statement
Never take for granted the power of color as it always sets the mood or sparks emotions.

I like to create patterns with the idea of them going on forever but I've taken a piece as a snapshot of its beauty. Pencil crayons have the willingness to create these patterns like nothing else.

As an artist, I would like to become the world ambassador to pencil crayons and pencil crayon art. There is no other medium with so much freedom and versatility.


Bio
I am 48 years old and I was diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor in 2017. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I have participated in the Toronto One of a Kind show and now have a body of work of over 1000 pieces and spanning over 30 years. My current project is a series of 100 5x7 postcards to mail to friends and family in isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

I am happy to include that each piece I create is on recycled cardboard which is not only environmentally friendly but gives me an endless supply of canvas that I can cut to any size for any frame.
