North End Halifax-based artist creating artwork entirely from recycled magazines.
paper collage.
My art, a form of collage mastered over many years of thoughtful practice, involves taking tiny paper cut-outs from magazines and gluing them onto wood panels. It is a slow and deliberate process that provides a sense of calm and relaxation, forcing me to truly be in the moment. I believe that giving myself time to be still and to focus on the creation at hand can be a healing and strengthening process similar to meditation.​
my inspiration.
Inspired by the charm and simplicity of the colourful houses in my neighbourhood, my creations capture the texture of Maritime communities in a detailed, yet utilitarian, way.
I often turn to the houses within a short walking distance of my North End Halifax home in Nova Scotia for inspiration. Full of energy and colour, my artwork attempts capture the feeling of a neighbourhood walk showcasing the vibrancy and uniqueness of the place I call home.
