Artist Statement:
My art should transport the
viewer on a voyage of
discovery. I work at various
levels of abstraction, always
retaining something
figurative.
My work is playfully varied
and optimally composed, and I
strive for monumentality
through contrasting
proportions.
My two-dimensional work
achieves perspective through
transparency, pure forms,
colour, shadow and light.
Whether working in two or
three dimensions, I aspire for
harmonious composition in
colour and shape. Angular
planes counterbalance rounded
forms. My work must achieve
balance and be emotionally
evocative and technically
sound. I want my art to
survive, so I choose durable
materials and timeless subject
matter.
One consistent quality in my
art is its constant diversity.
There are no boundaries except
my imagination....
