Opening Reception Friday July 3, 7-9pm

‘From All Angles’ is a series of paintings that chronicle big life happenings and transitions from the perspective of an abstract painter. With an interest in architecture, navigation lines, colour blocks and expressive painting approaches within the framework of the canvas, ‘From All Angles’ gives the viewer a birds eye perspective to colour infused geometric abstraction. Approaching each canvas with gestural and loose paint on raw canvas, colour intuition sets the stage for the direction of the painting. In imagining an aerial view of the work, building blocks of shapes are mapped out to reference forms that unfold with each layer of paint. Painted over many sessions, I consider pathways through the painting, much like navigation lines to guide my decisions on the canvas. Lines and paths intersect, connect and then angle away from each other throughout each painting. Referencing layers of meaning, life pathways, and decisions that guide us to new directions, the approach to look at a situation, from all angles, implies a birds eye view to understand how best to approach our own pathways in life.
