chasing light

“Light is always changing,
Sometimes blinding, sometimes hiding in the shadows,
It fills the cracks of the landscape, asking me to chase it.

A glowing horizon is life-giving;
The warmth of sunlight, an invitation to look up.
Pine and birch, drenched in its glow.
Gathered leaves dance in a flickering halo.”

~ Amy Montgomery

from the artist

I bring the generosity of light to my canvas. Beginning the work intuitively, I ignore a purely representational palette. I aim to break open the spectrum, intentionally rejecting precision in favour of spontaneity; looking for playful surprises within the layers. My hope is that the work intrigues the viewer, prompting them to reflect on personal connections with familiar scenes and recall the abundance that belongs to all of us.

Collector Spotlight

It’s always an honour for an artist to realize that a collector has selected a painting and made it a focal point in their space. This photo showcases the beautiful atmosphere at Saving Thyme Patisserie & Bistro in Burlington, ON. We highly recommend you stop by and try a pastry if you’re in town!
