In both my figurative and my abstract work, I paint the world that exists somewhere between memory and dream. I am fascinated with the interplay between the mythological, the fantastical-and ordinary everyday life.
I interpret the world around me, through vivid colour, stylized forms, repeating patterns and texture– to arrive at a heightened sense of a moment in time. I paint my experience of the world around me and hope the viewer can see something of their experience in the end result.

Sometimes I have an intention to express an idea, mood, concept or an experience but I prefer to operate in a non-0bjective field of expression and any imagery that appears is hopefully the image my viewers see. I like big gestural shapes and lots of detailed mark making. I am interested in creating depth and dimension and the illusion of light and shadow dominate my inquiries.
