Matte Painting

The last few months I've been busy completing my summer internship in Toronto. For this piece I took 3 separate photos and used tools in photoshop to stitch them together into one image. Once the image was stitched together and all the seams were removed I proceeded to paint out all the elements that didn't fit in with the time period of the original architecture. I continued to add elements that would add interest and create a matte painting that was photo real. Lastly I added atmosphere and create the illusion of an overcast day in Germany.

Work In Progress

This is a work in progress of a piece for a group exhibition called Born from Chaos. 24 inches by 30 inches, oil on canvas.

PEN Canada


This is a poster for PEN Canada about freedom of expression through writing. Conceptually I wanted to play with the idea of creating your own freedom and using words as a method to fight oppression. Initially I created a division between the birds using colour, form and shape. I decided that combining graphic elements and forming letters would help to show a more positive message about how freedom goes hand and hand with equality.
