Meet the Maker is a new series of features highlighting some of the most amazing makers across the North Shore! We will be featuring a handful of new makers every Monday to hopefully help mitigate the added financial strain that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the creative community. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook as well!

In your own words…  what do you do? Describe the thing(s) you “make/create.”

I am a contemporary artist, mostly working with oil and/or acrylic paints, known for my experimentation.

My work always contains an element of surprise. Once I make that first pass with my brush, I never know what will emerge. The finished design is never the way I expected it to be. I love that. I trust my intuition, and that allows my artwork to evolve organically. It is that aura of mystery that captivates the viewer, with a sense that my paintings reveal a secret, unknown space. I want people to feel that they’re truly drawn into the painting, and see something different every time.

The world is curious — what inspires you to “make/create”?

My inspiration is never the same- something in my unconscious ultimately is revealed in my artwork. Not sure why it happens, but it’s amazing to see.
