ARTIST STATEMENT:
My paintings are inspired by the deep harmony and underlying unity that I experience in nature. My landscapes explore the effects of light colour and structure - the interrelationship of abstract shapes and linear definition, accurate observation and spontaneous fluid expression, the dynamic between the physical tactile quality of the painted surface and the expression of infinite space.
I often work outside on location directly from nature, and then return to the studio to create larger paintings from these studies
exploring further the abstract effects of shape structure an colour harmony.
When I create i feel I am discovering more of myself.
My goal is to have my paintings filled with light and to express the deep silence that underlies creation, that is beyond what one can see, I hope those looking at my paintings will discover more of themselves, and through my paintings feel uplifted and filled with light and happiness.
