I am a Canadian artist who has worked in New York City since 1994. I use different mediums such as acrylic paint, crushed stone, spray paint, ink and pencil to create different bodies of work. I was an active participant in the vibrant Brooklyn 90s art community. During that time I worked as an assistant to legendary figures such as SoHo gallery owner Holly Solomon and the estate of Gordon Matta-Clark. I also worked, performed and was influenced by the legendary new media artist Nam June Paik. Since my arrival in New York, I have been developing my own creative language that fuses the use of abstraction, architectural structure and pattern. In my South Bronx studio, the work is informed by the architecture, bridges and the local walls. Interests in architecture, construction, demolition and textures were born out of the enormous growth and development in the Toronto downtown I witnessed growing up. This environment formed my concept of abstraction as an activity of continual process. I view painting as a construction site of ideas, in the process of becoming something, like a city itself. Recently, I have an interest in built forms in the insect world, geology and the mutable nature of deteriorating structures. My works focus on the color, texture, and the idea of how a city evolves. Currently, I am incorporating found sedimentary stones in my paint after pulverizing them at the studio. This allows the paintings to incorporate texture with architectural abstraction in a new way.
