I am a Florida-based painter whose work focuses on the marshes, mangroves, and luminous flat light of southern Florida, while drawing on memories of a rural childhood outside Toronto—creek beds, cedar woods, and open farmland. My paintings explore how one landscape can carry the emotional resonance of another, and how place, memory, and sustained looking converge over time.

I studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto, where I completed my BFA, and spent a formative semester at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Germany; I also hold a BA in Economic History from the University of Toronto. My recent influences include Alex Katz’s clarity and directness, Joan Mitchell’s energetic abstraction, Brice Marden’s quiet harmonies, and the lyrical mystery of early 20th‑century Canadian painter Tom Thomson, whose spirit of place continues to inform how I look at both northern woods and southern wetlands.
