Personal Statement:

I love my work as an artist because it allows me the freedom to play, to work intuitively with whatever art media suits my purpose, to really look at the world around me, and to challenge myself by always learning and tackling new things. My aim is share with the viewer through colour, subject matter and art materials, what moves me, inspires me and captures my imagination. For me, that goal necessitates constant practice and experimentation with a variety of media and subject matter, enabling me to draw from a large reserve of techniques whatever materials best speak for the piece

When beginning a piece, I first choose subject matter. Whether I am working close to nature 'en plein air', or from a reference photo I've taken, I am drawn to light-filled vistas, vibrant, saturated colour and contrasting elements that are texturally expressive. I then choose materials that best express what inspires me about my subject; soft pastel is a tremendous material to portray saturated light and colour in a landscape; pen and ink are ideal for rendering texture-rich architecture; watercolour, poured and mixed freely, suggests the complexity of stone surfaces in light and shadow.

The materials I use and the subject matter that inspires me are inextricably linked – each feeds and depends on the other. In every piece I create I strive to share with the viewer both the spirit of a captured moment in time and the tactile expressiveness of the materials used.
