My work is a record of my dialogue with the  external world. Everything that I experience influences my paintings.  Scenes have been set into my memory which

develop into images that take on their own forms. They start from allowing shapes to develop, change and grow.

They are constantly changing, I scrape, draw, redraw,

adding paint and layers of texture to build on what was

there, hiding underneath. They have a life of their own, and I am just the catalyst for it's evolution.

The final image is a dialogue between me,  the images and in the end the viewer

I use many different mediums, such as clay, acrylics, and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

I enjoy traveling to developing countries, taking in all they have to offer.

Those experiences help me create new

and expressive images.
