About Me
I am an artist from Halifax, Canada, with a background in graphic design and illustration. My artistic journey has been shaped by a deep passion for drawing from life, where the direct inspiration I draw from my subjects fuels my creativity. Through my work, I seek to capture and celebrate the beauty of the world around me—whether it’s the quiet charm of nature or the unique essence of the people I depict.
Portraiture holds a special fascination for me, as I am deeply interested in the personal stories of those I know. Through my art, I strive to share these stories, offering a glimpse into the lives of the living beings I portray.
I have a profound appreciation for the legacy of the old masters, and in my work, I aim to create a synthesis between their timeless techniques and contemporary artistic expressions. Beauty and harmony are central themes in my art, resonating with the philosophy of the Aesthetic Movement, "Art for Art's Sake." My hope is that through my art, I can evoke feelings of peace, reflection, and appreciation for the present moment, inviting viewers to find solace and inspiration in the beauty that surrounds us.
