Artist Statement:
To explain my work would be
near impossible. It would
almost be like asking a person
to rationalize the intensity

I filter the ‘unpleasantness’
thereafter. When I work, I do
so with such focused
dedication, and all my energy
is poured into the process.
The work deserves no less. It
is a very powerful force,
pulling me back in and
consuming me, time and time
again. I become but a mere
tool for what needs to happen
on the canvas or paper on any
given day. I become selfless,
abiding to the hegemony that
is painting.
Yet this energy is triggered
by important factors which
lead me to paint; Memories,
some sorrowful, some happy;
everyday experiences,
relationships with people and
with things. I work from life,
but am never enslaved by it. I
am fascinated by the shapes,
lines and chaos found in
nature. As the painting
unfolds, it often finds itself
at a balanced stage between
faithfulness to what is seen,
and abstracted shapes that are
necessary to the wholeness of
the piece.
