Artist Statement:
I paint in the realist and
surrealist tradition, the
emphasis of my work being the
exploration of dream states,
the subconscious, and a
playful approach to myth and
sexuality. My work often
implies a narrative, but is
really the result of free
associations of images which
evolve during the painting
process. I allow my fantasy
free-play and encourage the
viewer to find his or her own
meanings and associations in
what I do.
The touchstone for my
imaginative flights is often
the human face, or the nude,
in all its varieties of
emotive suggestion. I like to
explore the full gamut of
painterly strategies, from
subdued monochromatic, more
realistic images on one hand,
to vibrant, playful and
two-dimensional works on the
other.
It is the abundance and
changeability of the
imagination that appeals to
me, and which drives my
artistic quest.
