Artist’s Statement

Artist Statement

I work primarily in mixed media, often incorporating a collage of materials and techniques. I enjoy the textures of and related to the earth such as sand, clay, wood, wax, metals and fibres, and watching them evolve and shape the journey of a painting to its completion. This is a process of discovery, the inter-weaving of colour and form often eluding my original intention. My work is generally semi-abstract and explores aspects of landscape/mindscape where symbolism might suggest a reality beyond the common place.
