Statement

My work is concerned with colour and space. Committed to abstraction, I also work from nature, biomorphic imagery, passionate expressiveness, direct observation, insistence and urgency. The veiled images are multi-layered allusions to private feelings and events. The images are evocative of such sources as landscape, but at the same time exist as pure mark-making, while looping rhythms and luminous colour create image without any naturalistic associations. Balance is sought between spontaneity and willfulness, between intuition and inspired calculation.

Open to discovery, I respond to unexpected stimuli, an aesthetic signature arises, numerous formal traits, washes of colour, line in dialogue with painting, symmetry and asymmetry. A desire for freshness exists, directness and openness, rejection of 'orthodox' density creating expansiveness, the big expression, emotionally charged orchestrations filled with joyous abandon.
