Inspired by a family photograph from the late 1970s, Patterned Ground captures the artist's parents and brother sitting behind their beloved Chrysler New Yorker. The painting explores nostalgia and classic Canadiana through the lens of the newly arrived immigrant experience.
Based on a quiet moment beneath a tree, Shadow Patterns explores how shifting light can alter perception. The figure is partially obscured by the shadows of leaves, creating a surface that feels both present and unstable. What begins as a recognizable scene slowly dissolves into pattern, where body and ground become difficult to separate.
A painting drawn from a family photograph, Charline Motel explores immigrant arrival, shared nostalgia, and the everyday rituals of travel and belonging.
