Artist Statement

My work has assumed a fundamental association with my most formative memories. Not to be misunderstood as simply sentimental or naively nostalgic, but instead drawing from subtlety of colour, light and the wealth of natural beauty which made such a considerable impression on me.

I use these experiences and themes as my palette, a departure point from which to create contemporary and abstract representations of the sea and endless horizons. My visual language and inspiration are derived from the essence of the atmospheric changes and moods of the sea and its seductive relationship with the sky where emotion seeks solace between twilight and the first light of dawn.

It is no coincidence that the essential themes of Water, Space and Time have coloured my life so profoundly influencing my creativity and are integral components of my imagery.

My hope is that you the viewer, are able to find your own level of intimacy, allowing the visual ambiguity to create your own understanding and relationship with the image according to your own personal memories and that of which you see, sense and feel.
