"For me, the fine art of painting gives me the greatest joy and the deepest exploration of myself. Through art, I have grown to understand myself more, and as I change so does my art. From the very abstract, down to the simplest of forms, nature is always an ever-present element in my work. Painting for me is the blending of the outside world with the inside world and expressing those feelings onto a 2 dimensional surface. Currently I've been working on landscapes mainly drawn from memory. Places that give me a sense of familiarity. Not only in look, but also in feel. I use colour, form & symmetry to remind us of the life that exists within our surroundings. I like to over exemplify the balance & symmetry that happens naturally which is not always apparent to the naked eye." "I hope some of these paintings instills memories of places that you may have been. In body and in spirit."
