Artist Statement

Ever since a very young age in my native UK, painting has been the most natural and exciting form of creative self-expression for me. Since 1999 I have experimented in, and developed, my own style of collage as well as working on figurative paintings and drawings. Sometimes I will combine the two. I am passionate about creating mood, playing with texture, color and often decorative patterns.
Many subjects are an inspiration: urban and naturalistic scenes, portraits and animal themes. I am inspired by both what I see and feel in my own environment. The everyday sights and sounds of places - familiar to locals and new to tourists - are a source of inspiration to me. I often like to add figures to scenes; which not only offers a human interest but also a sense of scale, motion and vibrancy. At the same time, I wish my work to have a sense of peace and reflection.

In the near and far future, I simply wish to embrace any new projects , to sharpen fine art skills and to find a complete fluency of creative expression.
