About the artist

I’m moved by the thrill of visual experience and finding it in the seemingly small or unremarkable or aimless.

At the heart of my practice is craftsmanship—as something to strive for but also as a theme. I paint in layers, with oil paints and simple media (linseed oil, marble dust). I draw inspiration and motivation from the political and aesthetic ideas of William Morris, who championed the value of the handcrafted and beauty in everyday objects, and Ivan Illich, whose concept of "tools for conviviality" emphasizes the importance of human-centered tools and practices that foster genuine life and community. I’m guided by these values as I explore new resonances of familiar objects and scenes.

Ultimately, I believe that painting has the power to imbue ordinary things with a sense of wholeness, broadly lacking in the world today. My hope is that viewing my work can provoke you to linger over a moment of stillness, remembrance, or clarity in an increasingly fragmented world.

I live in Montreal with my partner and cat.
