ART WITH A MESSAGE

 

I am passionate about what makes people tick and about social justice issues. I have done shows on the MBTI and the Reiss Motivation profile. Further down on this page you can see the questions that I am chewing on around our role in stopping the ravaging of our planet and on social justice and anti-racism activism.

LOVE HOPE OPTIMISM

In an open letter 48 hours before he died, NDP leader Jack Layton wrote to all Canadians “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”

Recent Work

Global Crisis in the realm of the environment, social justice and racism has impacted me greatly. We are all feeling it in one way or another. My desire to speak up on these issues is immense and feels urgent. At the moment, I feel confused and somewhat inarticuate. My paintings reflect a combination of the questions I am wishing to explore and the things I want to rant and rage about.
