Artist Statement:
I want my pieces to have a
flow to them, a constant
ebbing vibrancy within them,
one that sucks the eye in and
holds it there. I want the
viewer to feel that spark of
emotion when they look at the
piece- that’s why I try to put
as much of my own emotion &
energy into them – transfer my
feelings into the brush
strokes & colour. I used to
shy away from colour,
believing I could create a
stronger emotion in the piece
through my brushwork alone. I
thought colour was an
unnecessary distraction within
a painting, now I embrace
tonality - light and shade,
colour and form, all the
aspects of a great painting.
Limiting the palette only
limited me.
There is no deliberate choice
in the subjects I choose to
paint, they simply are aspects
of my life and particular
moments that struck me as
special…not special in like a
wedding, but in the perceived
mundane, that’s what interests
me. Light is often a big
factor, both artificial light
and natural. How the inclusion
of light can affect body, how
it outlines a form and
emotionally exerts itself
within a piece. My current
home also often appears...
