Two Paintings Juried into Art in the Workplace Exhibition at McMaster Innovation Park on View until February 25, 2026

High Spirits

Influenced by the spiritual resonance of Mark Rothko’s work and the expressive technique of monoprints, Fragments of A Dream Untold (30” x 24”) is a layered exploration of colour, form, and mystery. It invites viewers into a dreamscape where untold stories emerge through texture and composition. Infused with bold colour and dynamic texture, High Spirits (30” x 24”) is a celebration of creativity, optimism, and new beginnings. The interplay of hues and forms reflects the uplifting energy that fuels my artistic journey and embodies my philosophy of optimism through colour.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I post a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
