Artist Statement
In life, there is an energy that is constantly influencing us, felt but never seen. Through each stroke of my paint brush, I give visible expression to this hidden energy, unveiling the inner beauty of life, people and places. I love creating large-scale works in oil on linen in abstract and representational styles. Sitting in front of a stark white canvas, I feel like I am alone in the middle of the ocean – vulnerable, alive, connected. Inspiration and openness guide me as I lay down abstract strokes in my base layers, transcending forms until the painting is revealed. In this fragile, fleeting world, I seek to capture the energy and essence of these impermanent moments.
