Artist Statement
“I am an artist and designer. I practice and share my craft. I continually work on the skills I need to make insightful statements and advance my ability to see. My style of painting allows the viewer to participate in the painting itself and imagine much. The overall design: colour, center of interest, values, gesture etc. are fixed before I start painting, but once I get going patterns emerge from my response to brush strokes and colour mixtures.”
