The Idea
My paintings aspire to be an ongoing, continuous process, reflective of the human experience.

Writing in The Studio…
“ My art is born from a kind of fidgety feeling. A need to always be moving, as Robert Smithson once said
‘What is most alive in art is necessarily fleeting’.
I endeavor to evoke a sense of wonder and attempt to map the invisible forces of nature. An enigma that I have always felt but have never been able to put into words.
My paintings are saturated by the idea of flux, transformation, time and change. I became fascinated by the concept of process. How the ‘being is within the becoming’. The ‘doing’ is the same as ‘undoing.’ A dynamic painting process was a result of thinking about these ideas while I created.”
