Artist’s Statement:
"For me, painting is an intimate and private
experience I embark upon each time I face a canvas. I re-visit
past and present life experiences and allow my intuition
to guide me through this reflective process. I paint what
I feel and not from a preliminary sketch or object.
This is how I approached
my recent work. I work very quickly, as each canvas takes
on a life of its own with a myriad of shapes, textures, brush
strokes and a vivid colour palette. Each canvas truly represents
a specific moment in my life, which I have reinterpreted
in an abstract way. At times these events are still fresh
in my mind and yet there are others that are buried deep
within my soul, but they rise up and re-surface in a new
light through each canvas.
When a painting has begun, I never
know what the end result will be, however the journey of
creating the artwork is the most interesting experience of
the artful process, for it just happens for a lack of a better
phrase, being in the moment with no script. Yet each works
comes from the heart and is rooted in the emotions running
through me."
