Part of Art on the Wall in Welland (March 2026) - My painting is a landscape of what couldn’t be said in time. It traces emotion the way memory moves, layered, interrupted, and never linear. Colors collide and soften, marking moments of tenderness, confusion, and quiet resilience. There is no single path through the surface, only crossings, pauses, and returns.

The splatters and fractures are not accidents; they are the record of feeling in motion. Joy bleeds into grief. Certainty dissolves into doubt. What remains unfinished is not broken, it is alive, still becoming.

This painting invites the viewer to get lost. To recognize their own unspoken thoughts in the chaos. To understand that some feelings are not meant to be resolved, only witnessed.

Part of Art on the Wall in Welland (March 2026) - This piece is a testament to endurance under pressure. The surface bears the marks of conflict, scraped layers, scorched color, and forceful movement, each one evidence of something tested but not erased. Reds pulse against darkness, greens push upward through weight, and black cuts through like resistance made visible.

This painting does not seek calm. It holds tension, grit, and the refusal to disappear. What burns here is not destruction, but persistence, the quiet, relentless fire of staying upright when collapse would be easier. There is no resolution in the composition, only presence. To stand is an act. To keep burning is defiance.

Part of the Welland Art Gallery Ignite Live Auction (April) - This piece confronts the growing invisibility of homelessness in contemporary urban landscapes. At first glance, the painting draws viewers into an image that feels familiar, but upon closer inspection, the details fracture that comfort. This work captures the quiet war between public image and human presence: a tension where beautification campaigns and revitalization projects mask, rather than solve, deep social crises.

The piece critiques the performative compassion often embedded in municipal responses to poverty. Fences erected around public spaces, benches engineered to prevent sleep, green spaces monitored and emptied at dawn, these are not neutral design choices. They are calculated strategies of exclusion.

Part of Christopher's Café Exhibition (February) - This painting is a record of containment. Of words held back too long. Of heat trapped beneath composure. What Remains Unsaid speaks through scarred layers and interrupted forms, revealing how silence leaves marks long after the moment has passed.

Load-Bearing centers on a single vertical axis that divides and stabilizes the composition. The painting evokes an architectural support, functional, necessary, and often unnoticed, while its distressed surface suggests accumulated pressure and time. Layers of muted color and abrasion create a sense of strain held in quiet balance, where structure is both sustaining and vulnerable. The work reflects on what carries weight, physically and psychologically, and how endurance leaves visible traces even when collapse never occurs.

In the world of autism, “masking” is the exhausting art of concealing one’s authentic self to meet the unspoken rules of social interaction. This painting captures that experience—a rush of colors representing the vibrant, complex inner world, partially veiled by translucent layers, and scattered with bursts of bright, deliberate marks. The sweeping motion reflects the constant adjustment and self-monitoring, while the open white space suggests the unseen effort behind the façade. Masking is both a celebration of the depth that lies beneath and a quiet acknowledgment of the toll that hiding it can take.

Currently not available - This work unfolds through layered blues, deep, weathered, and shifting, interrupted by bands of stone, ash, and muted light. The palette moves between saturation and restraint, evoking water in motion without fixing it to a single moment. Cool tones dominate, but are held in tension by warmer mineral hues that surface and recede, suggesting depth, erosion, and time passing through the paint itself.

Arcing gestures sweep across both panels, guiding the eye downward and inward. These curves carry a sense of momentum, yet remain suspended, as if the moment just before release has been stretched open. Texture accumulates in uneven strata, allowing color to fracture, blur, and re-form, echoing the way light breaks across moving water.

Rather than describe a place, Where It Falls Away inhabits a sensation: the gradual surrender of form into movement, and the quiet power found in letting color dissolve into its own weight.

SOLD - The owl is a guardian of creativity—an ancient spirit perched between the worlds of observation and imagination. Its feathers, a mosaic of brushstrokes and colours, are said to hold every emotion ever poured onto a canvas. Each mark is a memory, each hue a heartbeat, each layer a whisper from artists who came before.

Born from the belief that wisdom is not found in stillness alone but in expression, Palette Owl watches the world with vibrant eyes that see both what is and what could be. It carries the colours of courage, joy, sorrow, and revelation across its wings, reminding us that every feeling has a place in the masterpiece of a life.

Legends say that when Palette Owl lands in a room, creativity stirs—ideas spark, barriers soften, and the quiet truth of one’s inner world begins to surface. It teaches that art is not simply made; it is lived. It is a reminder that even in chaos, beautiful patterns can emerge. Even in darkness, colour persists.

Currently not available - This piece is an abstract meditation on endurance and quiet transformation. The vertical forms suggest structures that once held purpose, walls, pillars, or figures, now softened by time and atmosphere. Rather than depicting decay as loss, the painting frames it as a state of becoming, where memory, presence, and absence coexist. The layered surface invites the viewer to slow down, to notice what persists when sharp edges dissolve and certainty fades. Each mark functions as a trace, evidence of something lived, built, or felt still standing, even as it changes.

The color palette plays a central emotional role. Muted greys and off-whites form the foundation, evoking stillness, neutrality, and reflection. These tones create a sense of quiet and emotional distance, allowing space for contemplation without urgency. Soft blush and pale peach undertones emerge through the surface, introducing warmth and vulnerability. They suggest human presence, emotion, memory, and tenderness, subtly breaking through restraint.

Darker charcoal and weathered brown verticals anchor the composition. Emotionally, these deeper tones convey resilience, gravity, and history. They act as emotional spines, holding the work together while bearing the weight of what has passed. The contrast between light and dark is gentle rather than dramatic, reinforcing a mood of acceptance instead of conflict.

Together, the colors communicate a balanced emotional state: calm without emptiness, warmth without excess, strength without rigidity. Standing Remnants becomes a visual reflection on what it means to remain, quietly, imperfectly, and with grace, after time has done its work.

Sold - 'Storm of Two Minds' captures the turbulence of inner conflict, where opposing thoughts and emotions collide in constant motion. The layered strokes and shifting tones mirror the clash between clarity and confusion, peace and unrest. This piece reflects the quiet battles we carry within—moments where decisions feel like tempests, and the path forward is obscured by the storm of two minds.

Private Commission - Revolt in Gold” was shaped by the memory of the 2025 No Kings protests, when millions of voices rose together to say they would no longer bend to a crown.

The red in this piece is the pulse of that moment, anger sharpened into courage. The blue is the breath beneath it, the quiet resolve that carried people forward even when the streets burned with uncertainty.

The black strokes are the old structures straining under the weight of collective defiance. And the broken gold crown is the heart of the story, authority cracked open, its shine no longer enough to command obedience.

This painting is my reflection of a people discovering their power, and choosing to stand unruled.

Part of the Welland Community Centre Art Exhibition (March) - A sharp, crystalline form floats against a bruised field of magenta, black, and red. The diamond’s clean geometry contrasts violently with the unstable, wounded surface beneath it. Referencing the blood diamond, the painting confronts the hidden violence embedded in objects of desire, asking the viewer to consider what—and who—is erased in the pursuit of beauty and wealth.

Part of the Welland Community Centre Art Exhibition (March) - A fragile paper boat emerges from turbulent reds, purples, and muted greens, barely distinguishable from the chaos around it. The boat’s thin lines emphasize precarity, while splatters and layered washes suggest displacement, loss, and movement without destination. This painting reflects the vulnerability of human lives reduced to symbols, navigating systems that were never built to carry them safely.

Sold - Celestial Drift captures the sensation of being suspended between worlds—where colour, movement, and intuition guide the viewer through a dreamlike cosmic landscape. Swirls of violet, aqua, and deep midnight blue collide in layered, spontaneous gestures, evoking the slow dance of stardust carried by unseen currents.

The painting’s fragmented brushwork suggests constellations breaking apart and reforming, mirroring the way our own thoughts, memories, and emotions shift in orbit over time. Light tones emerge like distant galaxies, while darker patches pull the eye inward, creating a rhythm that feels both unplanned and inevitable.

At its core, Celestial Drift is an exploration of motion without destination. It invites the viewer to surrender to the quiet gravity of the unknown—to drift, to wander, and to recognize the beauty in the spaces between certainty.

More than an abstract composition, the piece becomes a meditation on the fluid, ever-changing nature of the inner and outer universe.

Sold - The Weight of Atonement is a visceral exploration of burden, memory, and the quiet gravity of remorse. Dominated by a stark black cross that bleeds downward into a field of burning red, the piece captures the tension between guilt and redemption. The heavy, dripping lines suggest a struggle that is neither clean nor complete—atonement here is not a single moment, but an ongoing descent and ascent of the soul.

The red background, textured and uneven, evokes both the heat of suffering and the ember-glow of transformation. It surrounds the form like a silent witness, reminding the viewer that even in our darkest reckonings, there is a pulse of life pushing through the haze.

By reducing the image to raw shape and colour, The Weight of Atonement invites reflection rather than instruction. It asks viewers to consider what they carry, what they confront, and what they are still learning to release. More than a symbol, the cross becomes an emotional landscape—one where pain, honesty, and the possibility of renewal coexist in fragile, powerful balance.

Sold - Northern Calm is an abstract meditation on stillness, inspired by the quiet expanses where sky, ice, and water meet in muted harmony. Broad strokes of blue, teal, and soft white layer over one another like shifting winter light, creating a landscape that feels both open and intimate.

The painting’s structure suggests horizons blurred by snow and cold air, where forms dissolve into one another and time seems to slow. The textured brushwork captures the subtle movement that exists even in silence—the drift of wind across frozen lakes, the gentle settling of frost, the soft pulse of nature beneath its winter shell.

Rather than depicting a specific place, Northern Calm evokes a state of mind: a moment of clarity and breath, untouched by noise or urgency. It invites the viewer into a space of reflection, encouraging them to pause, soften, and find quiet within themselves.

The result is a piece that holds both serenity and strength, echoing the tranquil resilience of the northern landscapes that inspired it.

Sold - Crimson Faultlines explores the tension between stability and fracture, using bold layers of red, white, and deep umber to evoke a landscape caught between eruption and calm. Angular strokes collide with scraped textures, creating a sense of shifting ground—both physical and emotional. The vertical band of pale pigment at the center suggests a fragile seam holding opposing forces in place, while flashes of purple and muted tones hint at turbulence beneath the surface.

This piece reflects the quiet violence of transformation: how pressure builds, how boundaries split, and how beauty emerges in the spaces where things break open. Crimson Faultlines invites viewers to stand inside that moment of rupture and consider what strength, vulnerability, and renewal look like when they coexist on the same plane.
