Artist Statement

From an early age drawing has been an important creative outlet. I still remember when I was 6 years old and learning different shading techniques from my mom. Drawing manifested itself in various intensities throughout my childhood until in 1992, the world as I knew it changed, as my family and I immigrated to Canada.

Communication presented a whole new set of challenges for me as my understanding of English was limited and nonexistent for approximately 2 years post immigration. I could understand more then I was able to verbally express. Drawing became an outlet.

To this day I am still excited about the endless possibilities a blank sheet of paper offers.  Having solidified my personal style through a year and a half drawing meditation,* there is nothing that I feel I can’t draw. Whether it is a realistic depiction of a person, an abstract expression or a technical sketch, drawing is one of the most versatile and rewarding mediums in my arsenal.
