B. 1987

A Toronto-based oil painter. My work is continually evolving, but most typically focuses on the male figure and flowers. The human form and flowers are constantly changing and offer something unique every time I’m able to capture them in a painting.

My work begins with careful attention to detail, where I’m aiming for precision. Near the completion of each painting, I brush that detail away, softening edges and dissolving information. This final act of abstraction creates a distance for the viewer to interpret the paintings rather than simply observe them.
