  • The inspiration for my work is rooted in the world of nature
    which provides my conscious and subconscious with
    the metaphorical stepping stones to create my own landscapes.

    The work is not based on any specific idea, but rather a feeling or thought that I have about the essence of the world around me. Depending on time of day, climate and seasonal conditions, my experience and my perception, nature provides me with a symphony of information that becomes my palette — much like notes in music. The multi-layered world, with its endless possibilities and outcomes presents a vast riddle of visual, emotional, psychological and spiritual information.These paintings represent the architecture of this complex survey.

    In my work, as in life, there are hundreds of decisions to be made daily. Sometimes simple and clear, at other times complex and convoluted with a multitude of possibilities and outcomes. Each decision has a consequence, moving us in a particular direction. We are in a constant search for clarification. There are moments of repose where we come to that place, allowing us to continue on life's idiosyncratic journey.

    With paint I present the physical essence of this metaphysical conundrum. I ask myself "How much information do I need to represent this place?"
    before the viewer's subconscious picks up on its fundamental nature. It is not a question. There are no definitive answers.
    It is a feeling, presented in layers. The more you look the more you will see.
