Collection: Back to Basics

This collection explores a return to basics, both in the principles of art and design, but also as this relates to oneself after a period of trauma and recovery. The paintings in this collection feature static geometry and saturated pure hues (shapes and colours are the first principles of design we learn about as children). This collection demonstrates a more intense exploration of basic shapes and colour in juxtaposition with expressive and organic painting approaches. It is the balance between the two that creates an exciting visual. As it applies to the Self, a journey of self-discovery can simultaneously feel like one is embarking on an entirely new sense of well-being and existence, but deep down, there are still basic core values and authentic belief systems that we each possess that come along for the journey and become a part of who we are becoming in our journey of self-discovery.
