LIMINAL POOL

Acrylic on canvas board. 

A personal colour exercise exploring a setting with extreme lighting and material interactions.  I enjoyed creating a genuinely unsettling space and playing with saturation to create the sense of a void. 

THE HUOT HOUSE

Acrylic on canvas board. 

A painting of my maternal grandparents home in South Porcupine Ontario just before Halloween in 1999. 

NEW LIFE

Acrylic on illustration board.

A painting based on a photograph taken of my paternal grandparents just after they were married in Germany in the 1960s. 

MONTREAL CHRISTMAS

Acrylic on illustration board.

Painted from a photograph of my uncles enjoying their gifts on Christmas morning in Montreal in the 1980s. 

DRESSING UP

Acrylic on illustration board.

My two younger sisters dancing in a costume dress and a traditional Spanish flamenco dress.  

NITH RIVER

Acrylic on canvas.

A painting of the Nith River which ran through my hometown. I enjoyed playing around with simplified colours and impressionist brushstrokes.
