Artist Statement: As an artist I get my inspiration from my own experiences; everyday things that demand a visual interpretation. However personal, I strives to articulate the images in a way that you, the viewer, can attach your own personal story. My hope is to touch on subjects and experiences that bring forth a memory or a feeling that will connect you with the image. “With each subject I try to capture an atmosphere through the colour and light, in an attempt to push the image toward a deeper meaning about human nature”. Bio:Masters holds an honours degree in Fine Art from the University of Guelph.
