About

Statement

My work is guided by my infinite enthusiasm for exploration.  Exploration can and should take many forms – from the random road trip to discovering your own Self.  In my art, I’m particularly fascinated by the role physics plays in the way paint forms on the canvas, interacts with other paints and reacts when manipulated by anything from a brush to fingers. I also find significant connection in life to the Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion and see its expression in the outcome of my work.
