Artist Statement:

Small subtle differences
modify the interpretation.
These works are an intuitive
attempt at capturing the
elegant graceful gestures of
body language.
Exploring the interplay of
carbon paper drawings with
found images and textures
creates a synthesis of
disparate elements and unique
collages that, in the process
of evolution, marry the
virtual and the real world.
Beginning with original
sketches, I introduce
transplanted images, assemble
and process them on the
digital canvas. Refining and
reducing the primary elements
of form leads to communicating
the complexity of body
language with elegant
simplicity.
Their final forms are series
of Giclée prints, using
archival inks and museum
quality paper.
I’m a Finnish Canadian,
living in Toronto Canada....
