Artist Profile

Artists statement: 

 

Having a background in photography and graphic design, I am drawn by natural light, colour, and design. Light is one of the most compelling elements to me.

 

My process of making of a painting is becoming intuitive. I am learning to trust what speaks to me, to trust my first reaction about what will work in a painting. I work out tonal values and a general idea of colours, but I can deviate from a plan or add to it.

 

I love the process of designing using shadows that occur early or late in the daylight hours. Natural light is the element that I strive to capture.

 

Currently, I am becoming interested in diverse subjects that include the flotsam of urban life, figures in various settings, landscapes and streetscapes. They can be ordinary or objects of beauty, anything that I am visually attracted to.
