I describe my paintings as vibrant, high energy and emotionally uplifting. I do not use brushes,palette knives or any traditional artist tools in the creation of my work. The focus is on employing bold colour palettes and layering colours to create transparent and emotive mystical veils of light which often appear to illuminate the painting from within. The end results are visually arresting, dream-like paintings the ebb and flow and are in a constant state of motion. My artwork is abstract in nature and people often comment on the transparency and intensity of the colours. Due to the nature of my process colours collide and blend before me on the canvas to create hues unimaginable or expected. The joy I feel witnessing these “happy accidents” is euphoric and provides endless and eternal inspiration.

I paint to convey my eternal optimism and hope I have for all of humanity in our often complicated world. It is my hope that the viewer is transported, if only for a moment, to a world where the difficulties we all face in life recede to the background allowing the heart and soul to soar skyward transcending the limitations we and society inherently place upon us.
