DRAWING, MIXED MEDIA, PAINTING
I love to create original art works that are fun and colourful and that will inspire and bring joy to others.
I rely on my intuition when creating a composition and like to play around at the edges of what is real, trying to make that which is real less tangible, and that which is not real more tangible. Whether painting from real life or from my imagination, I always make up a story about the painting and its context. Sometimes I write this into a poem, but generally I prefer that the viewer make up their own story.
Media
I primarily paint with acrylics often with collage and other media. I also paint in watercolour and draw with charcoal and pastel.
