Artist Statement:
"A love of nature and
inner spirituality has been an
ongoing inspiration for my
artwork. Each painting
captures the essence of the
subject, balancing exquisite
detail and a focus on light.
Based upon realism yet drawing
upon a luminscent dream-like
quality, it is a truly
original interpretation of the
natural world. The wildlife
studies have explored
expressive animal gestures in
their natural habitats. I am
hoping to raise awareness of
the beauty and fragility of
the earth and build support
towards ensuring its survival
for future generations"

Technique
"My technique has been developed through experimentation and research into the collective experience of fine art masters throughout history. After composing a painting through sketches and notes, a layer of underpainting establishes darker areas. Although many artists continue to gradually move towards lighter tones, I move from darkest to lightest areas until they connect. Animals are created with a similar technique, the brightest texture reflections are painted with a semitranslucent matte medium. I also use a thin wash to create certain effects in the water and sky.
I enjoy working with acrylic paints, they are very malleable and suit my painting style. I use all sizes of brushes, starting with the large fan moving to medium fan/round, then micro sized for the finest precision.
