Artist Statement:
Nature and dreams have always
been at the heart of my
artwork, and it has been the
human experience, that rests
below our reality, I have
sought to provide a visual
voice to within my work.
From early on I became
fascinated by dreams and how
their visceral symbolism
underlay our reality. The
imagery of dreams seemed to
whisper words of wisdom on
navigating our waking reality,
and I wanted to understand
more of the two worlds which
existed simultaneously in our
lives.
Nature's landscapes were
within my dreams, and my
artwork became more focused in
exploring the internal domains
our souls journey, as they
seek understanding to our
reality above.
My work has been about
bringing a visual voice to
those internal landscapes of
the heart, to freeze an
emotional landscape in time,
so we can look and understand
more.
My Imagery
Nature in its many forms, from
powerful seas and their
corrosive nature, to buried
elements unearthed, guide my
means of expression, as I
bring voice to emotional
landscapes within my artworks.
The more I came to understand
the importance of listening to
dreams and exploring their
internal landscapes, the more
I was compelled to journey
alone ...

| Your Personal Biography |
The intertwining of nature and dreams have always been at the heart of my work, and my search has been to explore the internal landscapes our souls travel within and to give a visual voice to those journeys we endure and survive.
It has been about giving vision to what we experience internally as we deal with the reality of our lives. A reality above that can form scars below. I have always tried to seek truth in how reality affects our hearts and how it challenges us. It is an internal reality, that lays beneath our reality, I seek to bring to the fore in my artwork. Emotional landscapes frozen in time so we can understand more.
Nature in its many forms, from the lands to the seas and from the buried earth to the heavenly skies offer clues to life's natural cycles and erosions, and dreamscapes often whisper wisdoms to learn and grow stronger from. Both landscapes, internal and external, are intrinsic to my work and my expression.
Intrinsic also to my work, is my own personal journey through life, it is the well I draw water from. By striving to unveil my own truths, I search to reveal the essential truths, which unite us in our own separate and human journeys through life.
