-Artist-

My work is a passionate and playful exploration of abstraction, with some focus on landscape.
I enjoy the ambiguity of abstraction, where the subject is an internal experience leaving open the possibility of much more content. My work is multi-dimensional, incorporating a joyful exploration of my expanding vision.
A journey of passion and discovery!
How artwork is made
I start with an idea that has emerged via observation in nature/media/other visual material. I then move to execute this idea on canvas using paint, drawing materials and or collage. I adjust, make additions and /or subtractions until I am satisfied with the final product. Sometimes this process quickly falls into place and I’m satisfied with my artwork. More often I work and rework images, textures, and compositions over extended periods of time. I frequently work on more than one work at a time. This allows me time to reflect on my work, expanding my perspective as I go.
