Territories: City and Urban Landscapes

My paintings explore the intersection of nature and built environment within Etobicoke.  Blossoming trees rise above cars and bungalows, sunsets spill across crowded streets, and the Humber River winds its way through changing seasons and climate change. These urban spaces hold stories of how we live, move and find beauty in our daily life.  I reflect on how cities both nurture and fragment our connection to nature.  Parking lots, traffic jams, and heatwaves become part of the landscape, shaping how we experience continuity, community, and change.  I aim to capture the fragile coexistence of city and nature, and how our sense of place is shaped by both.
