Spectral Crossroads

How it Describes “My Elmira”

All my paintings explore harmony in discordant settings. Where others may balk from using too many colours – I bring these large number of different colours together in an awe-inspiring, harmonious spectacle that just works. Canadian small towns like Elmira are a perfect example of this harmony – where people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, come together to create these dreamy spaces where families thrive.

Artist Statement

I try to evoke a sense of beauty & inspiration through the interactions between colours as they find their place on the surface I’m working with. I endeavour to create pieces that produce the same passion for colours in others that I have always felt. My pieces are all about harmony of a large number of colours. My style is the evocation of emotion through the interweaving of colours on canvas and aims to be to the eyes what enthralling music is to our ears. For me, my style is not the brush stroke or application technique of medium on canvas. It is the way that I use colour to express myself and the expression of my sense of self is imbued in my aesthetic. A distinct aspect of my practice is my use of a credit card. All lines on all my pieces are made using the edge of a credit card, one colored dab at a time. These pieces can have up to 60,000 individual dabs and can take a few weeks to complete.
