I'm a mixed-media artist telling personal stories through nostalgic imagery and experiments with salvaged, foraged, and handmade mediums. My work is conceptual yet accessible and evocative, making you think, feel, and maybe cry. I aim to inspire you.
"Sowing Seeds, Digging for Dreams" is a commemorative sculpture I made from my dad's salvaged shovelheads and metal scraps.
He passed away in 2020. At the time, I didn't know he was having a stroke, as we had our last conversation, watching the Steller's Jays picking seeds and hanging from the sunflowers on my front porch. I used the theme of this poigniant moment for a solo exhibit commemorating him called "Tangible Stories," at The Old School House in Qualicum Beach, in 2023.
This piece also had an interactive element from another project I will share next.
