ARTIST STATEMENT

Painting for me is a love affair: I’m profoundly passionate about it. I 'm a dreamer and I work very intuitively and instinctively, creating a space in which I allow the image to evolve and unravel. My practice demands that I'm courageous and openhearted and it always involves risk. I feel things with a burning intensity and my canvas provides a haven for these huge emotions. 

I'm fascinated by chaos and order  fragility and strength, existing simultaneously and the easy harmony that occurs in the natural world between these two forces. My canvas becomes a visual response to these elemental energies and polarities discovered within the environment and myself. 

My work is a celebration of the colours and ultimate contrasts, no gradients. It embraces all that is misterious: the ambiguity is as relevant as the seen in the finished piece.
