Artist’s Statement

Inspiration comes from the unlimited Source - dream visions, music, lyrics, a line of text in a book that stirs me, people and their stories, symbolism and archetypes, imaginary worlds, the patterns in a leaf, the magic of a seahorse, the tiny details in a flower.  The colours of life and the layers of meaning, the seen and the unseen.  I can't fit my art into a box; there's more than one tangent.  I like to work in series, and my work often follows a narrative thread.  I work mainly with coloured pencils, watercolour, acrylic, or water-soluble oils, from tiny through to large pieces.
