Artist’s Statement
Over the past few years, I have developed a quirky style enjoying the use of vivid colour and uninhabited sense of fun. I like to think my art is the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-dimensional visual language. The elements of this language—its shapes, lines, colours, tones, and textures—are used in various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. Evolving from the organic motions of body and hand, with the eye and sweeping arm create momentum in scribble lines, patterns shapes and layers of various mediums. I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoyed making them.
Biography
I started art classes five years ago under the guidance of Cecelia Krieg at Pittsworth Art Group. During this time I have formed many wonderful friendships and developed a sense of fun with colour, exploring abstract, contemporary and portraiture combining all genres at times. I strive to paint every day and take every opportunity to learn.
