About me:

ARTIST STATEMENT I am innately drawn to the expressive approach of deriving and releasing creativity from an unconscious state of mind. The abstractions are intuitive, spontaneous and deliberate messages. They necessitate a vital action to release, bridge and balance spontaneity and tension and the pursuit of aesthetic value. When freedom appears to be compromised and restricted by the boundaries of the standard picture plane, the forms require more space to breathe, wander, spill, drip, pour, stretch and reach out into another plane, dictating the need to be free yet integral, with a life outside the box.
