Colour has the power to lift the spirits and bring joy. In my art I try to create a sense of vibrancy.
For the initial mark making, I write words as they come to me. In this way every piece has its own origin and energy.
I then layer and texture the piece with acrylics and crayons until I feel the “dialogue” is resolved in some way.
Every piece is created from a journey of emotions and ideas. Using this intuitive process brings me great joy.
The small to medium-sized wood panels I work on are not only great to handle but they allow the image I’m creating to extend and wrap around the four sides.
I hope my work evokes warmth and emotion in you too and that you enjoy having my work on your walls.
"I love your work. The colours are like a hit of frequency in sound. They just resonate."
