Artist Statement
The act of creating is something very dear to my heart. Within my art practice and through the medium of acrylic on canvas, I process and express my thoughts and emotions. I hope to honour both my family and my heritage throughout my work. I am constantly inspired by the beauty of our country and it's people. Nature, connections to Mother earth and one another are common themes in my paintings.
