Artist Statement:
Where does it come from? Why
does one artist paint dark,
disturbing images and another
make art of transcendent light
and beauty? What motivates the
incredibly unique expressive
mode of each individual
artist? Life experience,
external influences,
serendipity, magical moments,
receptivity, the minutia of
life: all these combine to
drive the artist to make art.
I am very intrigued by the
wonderful sensations and ideas
that come out of left field,
little glimmers of perception
that happen on the periphery
of my vision and awareness
that evolve either instantly
or over time to take physical
form as paintings and fabric
work. Be they the ephemeral,
shifting colours and rhythms
of the sea, the intensity in a
person’s face, or the ancient
mythologies and symbols locked
in the carved stone of past
centuries, these are images
that have worked themselves
sideways into my mind and
refuse to leave. Sometimes
they come unbidden, charting
their own course until set
free in visual form.
The journey of the creative
process is very personal to
each artist; we must allow our
minds to be receptive to
gentle peripheral influences
as well as the powerful, ‘in-
your- face’ immediate ones.
The very materials one ...
