ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Throughout my life I have always had a passion for painting. The creative process itself captivates me and I am drawn to create with fingers, brush or palette knife. I love abstract, contemporary, mixed media while using acrylic, gesso, paste and ink stains on canvas as well as wood and metal. My focus is often the drama and tension between colour and light. Whether I’m painting an abstract, sky scape, city scape or water scape, I am inspired by natural elements; water, sky, earth and wind, all of which I draw on during my creative process. I 'feel' my art and let my instincts guide each direction as the piece evolves on canvas. I'm an ‘intuitive artist’ with my ideas developing in dreams and strong impulses that I feel must come pouring out. I love and live to paint and am humbled and grateful daily for the opportunity to do so!!
