Artist Statement:
'Art is something that has
been with me throughout my
life.
Everyday new images flow into
my head like a waterfall
pounds into the river beneath.
Creativity is something which
drives my every moment. No
matter where I am or what I am
doing, there is always
something else on my mind.
Everything inspires me, life
is a great inspiration. When I
meet people, it is natural for
me to observe the
characteristics which define
who they are, how they feel
and think. I notice gestures,
looks, which seem to be far
more revealing than anything
ever said. I like to get to
know people on a deeper level,
so in conversations I often
find myself probing to find
what the person is interested
in, what they hold in their
hearts. So when I do a
portrait I usually try and
capture a look which
represents their true self,
not just the outer image.
Animals too express themselves
in non verbal manners. The
cougar, the wolf, these are
among my favorite animals
because their gaze entrances
me. They seem to possess such
calm, such wisdom, and yet
there lurks the proud hunter
within. This is what draws me
to animals...
