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 am 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 finds significant connection in life to the Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion as signature marks of God expressed in nature and see its expression in the outcome of my work. Just as one can tell the great artist by their work, God can also be recognized by these natural physical expressions found in a flower, a nautilus shell or the exacting proportions of the human figure. To know the Creator, know their creations.
