My artwork tends to be very tactile. I’ve always been drawn to the idea of creating art that people can experience through touch as well as sight. My subjects are a series of observations pulled from the onrush of the everyday life. For example a visual snapshot of something completely mundane will strike a cord and lead me on a journey. If I’m blessed, at the end of that journey they’ll be an extraordinary work of art.
Since I seldom know what a piece will look like until it’s finished I can only plan so far and that’s part of the excitement. For me painting is about pleasure, mystery and sensuality, a safe port of call for my Muse to land and shed her inhibitions on the way to self-discovery. Finally art is taking a giant leap of faith over the threshold into the unknown where judgement is suspended and beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder.
