My career has moved me around Canada several times. I currently work in Niagara by way of Vancouver and New Brunswick. My professional career began in 2010 after completing art school. I moved to Vancouver from the Maritimes and set up my initial studio practice there.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6225 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-510x382.jpeg 510w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-1080x810.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-1280x960.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2020\/07\/IMG_8054-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h2><strong>What inspires your artwork and how do you get started from sketching to painting a piece?<\/strong><\/h2>\nMy work is a response to the environments I explore, live in, work in, or adventure to. Urban landscapes of gritty industrial environments or busy, cluttered street scenes influence the majority of my work. In recent years I have documented other aspects of the environments I travel to, documenting nature, small towns, and decrepit structures. I spent a year documenting the demolition of a major hospital removal project in my hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario. In all cases, these pieces are a combination of Staedtler Lumocolor markers and acrylic paint. When I travel, I prefer to work on smaller-scale pieces that combine fine ink pens and watercolor.
