CONTEMPORARY
PAINTINGSAs an artist, the art you make is a reflection of who you are and how you approach life. To begin to do the job justice – trust your instincts, silence the inner critic and allow what is wanting to emerge to find its way onto the canvas.
I often wander at the edges of what is possible and explore questions that dig into the unfamiliar. These sometimes uncomfortable prompts, often around social justice and environmental responsibility, keep insinuating themselves into my awareness begging for a response. The world of the abstract allows inquiry into these matters.
Integral to my work is the belief that beauty and authentic self-expression are twin guides allowing us to reach the fullness of our potential as human beings. My job is to seek the right questions and stay open to what emerges by staying in a space of play and exploration. My hope is that the viewer wishes to enter the conversation with me – filling in their own insights.
