_________________________
ARTIST STATEMENT
My current body of work
,“Urban Myths”, is derived
from notebooks and journals
kept while traveling and
living in England and
Vancouver BC ,during the past
decade. These works are a
cumulative visual diary of
glimpses and impressions that
explore the relations between
self and urban environments. I
am fascinated by the layering
of history and experiences in
cities, and the visual
memories left behind in the
architectural elements.
My personal painter's
philosophy is that art should
contain a mystery to be
unraveled and take the viewer
to a new place or a new way of
seeing. In my interpretation,
I strive for a contrast
between
representation and abstract,
evoking ethereal moods rather
than a
literal interpretation. My
paintings reflect my
fascination with architectural
spaces, the layering of
history, and the unexpected
solitude of human experience
that occurs therein. Created
with successive layers of
images,written messages,
texture and colour, the
paintings fuse techniques of
painting and sculpture, and
represent the excavating of
secrets and unrevealed life.
I currently live in Santa
Barbara, Ca
