"It's not the art of making pictures and becoming a great artist, but art to use as a means of expressing myself and putting into visibility what grips me in nature"
- Emily Carr

I am drawn to encaustic for its organic and natural sculptural characteristics and the ability to include other
materials. An important aspect to the work is the process. The process of adding, taking away, composing, decomposing, adding to the obscure, and finally removing to reveal the piece.

Chalk pastels are another one of my favorite mediums and now I'm also learning to paint with oils. I attend Pearson College every year for their Summer School of Arts. Also I took a semester at Vancouver Island School of Art and studied color.
