Artist Statement

As a visual artist, creating works of art is a compelling life force. It encompasses passion,
spontaneity, intellect and self-discovery. My art is not politically sensitive or culturally eye-opening. It is simply meant to appeal to the senses and heighten the human experience.
Inspired by the modern art movement, I am an intuitive painter fascinated by the mystery, beauty
and power of nature. I enjoy exploring, abstracting and reinventing familiar forms found in
naturally occurring phenomena to create new images that enhance the awareness and stimulate the
imagination of the viewer. I employ multi-media techniques in oil, watercolour, ink and acrylic paint
using color to transmit perceptions, meaning and emotion. Colour is my tool of passion and conveys
the primary theme of my work: balancing imagination and reality.
