Painting for me is an exploration of reality, in an attempt to broaden my understanding of the natural world. I want my work to evoke a feeling of curiosity and intrigue, yet familiarity. Nature is a constant inspiration and trees and nests have been a common subject. Of late, my work has evolved; from previous themes of connectivity, peace and order to a more integral viewpoint from which I examine apposing dynamics. For this reason, painting has become an inquiry of my visceral response to life, death, people, places, dreams and nature. Dichotomous forces demonstrate tension within each piece and make us wonder what life is all about. As such, I discover my own connectivity to the world and find symbiosis and friction along the way.
