Real life can sometimes be surreal. I explore the experiences of the everyday and of what lies beneath the surface. A still life can invoke introspection, inspiring a state of inner knowing and an observation of the beauty that exists. Landscapes of actual locations take on a life and presence of their own. Intuition guides from start to finish as the process itself can become a bit like magic as the work is only complete when it has formed a dance like balance between color, marks, line and form. This is the magic that captivates me and motivates me to continue as an artist.
