Artist bio
I am a passionate artist who likes to play in all formats and really like to make colour a feature. I like to use texture and unusual objects or ideas in the creation of my art. I am self taught and use this to not limit where I go or how I get there. I work in paint, inks, photography and photomontage to allow my creativity boundless forms.
I create art because...
I enjoy the process of creativity and problem solving to challenge and stretch myself. I like to see the fruits of my labour and fondly recall the small details and the overall impact of the final works.
I am different to most artists because...
Not being schooled, I am free to create and go in ways that have not been prescribed. My imagination is my guide.
When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...
Curiosity and pleasure.
The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...
We each have an outlet, and when you find one that resonates take it on with passion and curiosity.
I believe art is an important part of our lives because...
Art includes a piece of the artist. Their time, effort, thoughts, ideas, generosity and yes, creativity. Anything that makes you look and pause gives you something.
