Presentation
Artist Statement:
The reasons I paint are varied and complex; the primary motive being the sheer exhilaration of experiencing the creative process. Art is an important part of what defines our humanity, and I feel grateful and privileged to be able to participate and contribute in my own way. Being an artist gives me a sense of individuality and describes who I am. I believe we all have a deep psychological desire to experience art not only as a form of expression, but also as a means of emotional reflection. I enjoy contributing to that.
I also use painting as a means to explain my views, and to demonstrate my interpretation of life experiences. My oeuvre consists of two main genre; abstract expression and impressionism. My impressionistic object based paintings are more of an exploration of the relationship between colour, light and tone values rather than the objects themselves.
In my abstract expression pieces, my focus is to bring thoughts and emotions into visual form. I employ a complex process of creative exploration, exploiting all the characteristics of paint including, texture, viscosity, and thickness on the surface of my substrate. As I work through this process, ideas begin to emerge, forming a emotional theme or focal point. Decision making is based on my own psychological responses to what I am seeing as the painting begins to develop.
Making art has been a part of my life as long as I can remember, and will be something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. I can't image my life without creating art.
