About
my
Art
The world impresses me. The weather, the sea, flowing water, the mountains and forests and jungles which ornament the earth are from what I derive inspiration. I am captivated by shadows and light and the vibrant colours that surround our daily lives, and this infuses my work.
I do not work from photographs, but purely from my experiences observing and existing in my surroundings. The earth and its elements are always moving and growing and developing and in understanding this, I allow my canvas to be alive. I shape the colours and contours with moods and emotions evoked throughout the course of a work. I let my pieces metamorphosis, with a single painting free to move through storm and calm, across sea and land, night and day.
My work reflects my personal perspective of the world and the way that I look at things and experience life. I aim to express my gratitude and appreciation of the beauty and magnificence that life offers to everyone and to instil those feelings in others.
I work in a mixed medium of oil and acrylic predominately on larger scale canvas.
Working on a large scale allows me the presence to draw the eyes in, to enrapture the onlooker and imbue the emotions of grandeur and allurement that I experience when I view the world.
