Artist statement
When I was a child, our family moved frequently, never quite finding the one true place to put down roots. My parents never owned a house. We boomeranged between rented bungalows and high-rise apartments, our closets filled with some boxes that never got unpacked.
This likely explains my obsession with houses, especially old ones that have seen the passage of time and neighbourhood changes. Walking my dog at all hours and in all weather, I started noticing things: how shadows lined a laneway, the glint of sunlight on a chimney stack, the details of dated architecture. I felt compelled to capture these images as so many original dwellings are disappearing. A tiny 1930’s cottage can be demolished in hours, replaced several weeks later by a modern box. My work documents familiar architecture but also examines the notion of place, the sense of belonging, what makes us feel home. These paintings reflect an urban landscape but one that is still, without the complication of people, finding beauty in the everyday things around me.
