What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

This makes me feel like anything's possible and tomorrow is waiting there just over the ridge. It's peaceful. It's calm, and I can just see myself walking through that line of trees into a future I can barely imagine. It's my Canadian childhood all over again: standing on our front steps quietly watching the sun go down behind the trees. No sound. No movement. Just me and the snow and the peaceful sunset.
