To become a full time artist presented itself with a move to the country, where inspiration is ever-present, allowing for an abundance of creativity. Nature speaks loudly here. My work is mainly impressionistic and abstract. The way I see my world. My use of vibrant colours reflects my love of colour and how they can affect the viewer of the painting. Life has taught me to appreciate everything and to not sweat the small stuff. I have become far more reflective and think more outside the box than I ever have before. This is also reflected in my work. I find painting allows me to show my version of the "connectedness" of mankind, to one another, their universe and their inner spirituality. We are more the same than we are different.

I paint what I feel in my abstracts, and I paint the beauty of the world as I see it in my landscapes. My influences are artists who love and play with colour , two of my favorites being Thomas Moran and J.M.W. Turner. Their use of colour and how it can evoke emotion draws me to their style of art.

I see my talent as a privilege, and the ability to share it as a gift. I view any positive or negative emotion drawn from another with my artwork as a good emotion , .my entire goal is to connect to my audience by evoking all types of emotion, negative and positive alike.

To achieve my paintings, I use whatever it takes to reach the end result, including paintbrushes.

My Artists Statement

I have an unquenchable desire to create. I have the need to see my imagination come into this reality and inspire a response from the viewer. I feel we are all connected by our humanness and have the ability to evoke emotion through many artistic mediums, my mediums of choice are acrylic paints and clay. We are children of the earth, I am inspired by what is all around us, The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars, the earth and the sea are my muse for my impressions put to canvas. In abstraction I try to capture a feeling, an emotion, something tangible to hold on to.

I create because this is my obsessive passion.
