My work is fueled by two quite different obsessions:
First and foremost is the drive to represent a singular kind of image; organic forms floating on space. This need has been with me since I began creating art. Unwittingly then and quite knowingly now, I base my work on these shapes. They come with me no matter where I go: oils, pastels, acrylics, drawing painting.
Second is my love of collage; the combining of various objects, surfaces, textures and text.
I work intuitively, combining media, building layers and using personal symbolism and imagery to hint at just enough of a feeling or story to then leave the possibilities opens for the viewer to complete using their own language or that of the collective subconscious.
