Artist Statement:
Artist statement 2007
Searching for a surface
texture that conveys the
scraping away and adding on of
history.
Also finding a simple way to
express movement, and the
spiritual aspect to
traditional dance. My lines,
colour and tone should appear
effortless and rapid, varied
and full in form, immediate
and pure.
I trained in Visual Arts at
Lancaster University and
Goldsmiths College, London,
and have taught Art in UK
curriculum schools around the
world since 1988. Having lived
in six different countries
across Europe, Asia and Latin
America, I use local materials
out of necessity as much as
out of interest. I have been a
member of Circulo de Dibujo, a
group of professional artists
dedicated to drawing in
Caracas, Venezuela, since
2002.
I am currently working on
paper with mixed media such as
graphite, ink and paint as
well as on canvas with mixed
media and oils, using a
variety of mark-making tools
from brushes and sponges to
bamboo and Chinese brushes....
