My process involves the use of brushes, palette knives, scraping, wiping and layering. I really get excited when a stroke or a gesture produces just the feeling I want to express, or when a colour pops through from a previous layer and the journey of the painting can be seen.
IT TELLS IT'S OWN STORY, AND I BECOME THE VIEWER.

My hope is that I can express what is authentic, true and beautiful in the world I experience, whether it is internal or external, and in so doing create connection with you, the viewer.

I'm pretty thrilled, and a little bit shocked to tell the truth, to be among a group of amazing artist's selected by an international jury for the 2021 GOLD LIST of Contemporary Artists

In 2020 I started painting again and woke to a burning desire to explore and experiment with my art. I was seeking to let go completely and allow my inner intuition to take over. I would start a painting with no intention or plan, laying down colours, shapes and lines, responding in the moment to what I saw. I kept adding layers, scrapping into the paint, until I would start to see something take shape. Often a landscape, sometimes a floral would emerge. This is when I would get excited and start to pull the image up from the canvas, still trying not to think too much and allow it to flow without force.

This process is a journey. It’s an emotional one for sure, full of doubt and insecurity but also surprise and joy and delight.
