This series of work discusses the uncertainty and fear that arrises when we step outside of comfort and dip our toes in to new territory...
 

a compilation of work made during my time as the Artist-in-Residence at the Lunenburg School of the Arts. 

​

This body of work began by immersing myself and the canvas in spaces that bring me back to centre, where time comes to a halt — on sand, next to the ocean, in grass or on the edge of a mountain. Creating outside and within the elements of nature not only encourages me to limit my materials but to continuously surrender to what the Earth or a moment in time brings forward. Whether it be on the canvas or my daily life, I am constantly leaning into the ongoing practice of presence. 

​

Artworks were created using blind contour techniques (drawing without looking at the paper or canvas)as a method of meditation forcing me to slow down. Delicate lines are juxtaposed with bright yet soft colours created using pastels.  

​

Something I grapple with as a highly sensitive human is the beauty, yet pain in knowing these days are limited. Individually, each artwork shares an intimate moment or story connecting you to this human experience — one of messiness, honesty and vulnerability. My hope is that this series gives you a moment to be present and an opportunity to see the world through a new lens.
