Artist Statement:
The interaction of people with
each other and their
environment is the constant
thread that weaves throughout
my work.
As one reads a novel their
imagination fills in the
visual content. In my works I
invite the viewer create their
own dialogue. Time and
contemplation from the viewer
extends this an ongoing
dialogue.
The works are figurative with
some distortion. There is
stillness within the works
complexities. Use of strong
colour and patterning create
chaos while line cements the
work.
A range of mediums and their
supports behave differently.
In my works I like to show
these differences, hence the
diversity of the finished
product.
Those who own my work tell me
- "As time passes appreciation
develops and grows"...
