Artist statement

My artwork consists of a diverse range of media and subjects, ranging from portraiture to non-objective art. I tend not to stick to any one distinct style or medium, rather choosing to experiment with different compositions, genres and techniques.

My working methodology is a juxtaposition of intuition and structure. A process of freeing myself creatively, then applying those learnt techniques to my body of works.

I enjoy creating art hands on, this age-old method has therapeutic benefits that ground and inspire me. The satisfaction of working with materials to form a tangible object borne of years of trial and error is invaluable.

I admire and am influenced by many, including, Sarah Bernhardt, Agnes Martin, The Impressionists, Matisse, Dali, Hopper and Liechtenstein. I am ever curiously looking to history to learn of past fellow artists struggles and triumphs.
