I use pattern to play with ideas, exploring our connection with ourselves, other people and beings, material possessions, nature, and the world.

My distinctive mark making and composition has been compared to crochet, knitting, tapestry, and wallpaper sample books. Strategically, these marks are one way to harmonize different ideas and patterns. Thematically, they reference some of my earliest art making experiences and inspiration.

To execute an idea, I gather or create reference materials, and transform them with technical pens, paint pens, brush and ink, gouache or cut paper. I may then scan these artworks and play with colour and composition in Illustrator before drawing, painting, or printing individual patterns. In a final step, patterns are juxtaposed for maximum effect.
