ARTISTS STATEMENT

My preferred medium is Acrylic Paint on Canvas, using various layers and textures. I use brushes, and scrapers and any other utensils that help me create the effect that I’m looking for. However, what inspires me the most is colour. Using a range of neutral shades, then adding splashes of colour.
I love simplicity and sophistication.

After experimenting in various paint forms, I am always drawn back to abstract. My inspiration comes from every day urbane living. I see shapes, reflections, colours, shadows and textures, which come together on the canvas.

I enjoy the challenge of creating something different.
