About

 
 

For the joy of it!

 

Through the process of mark making, use of colour, texture and layering of paint i hope to capture some of the beauty that exists around us. Our humanness, our fears and dreams.

For me there is joy in the method, a song to the creator. The outcome...always surprising. For i believe wholly in the action, the journey and direction of the marks i make. It all begins from an idea, a feeling, a word.

I follow it with paint to its desired end.
