Artist Statement

I enjoy painiting using all media with acrylic being my favourite. I enjoy experimenting with different themes and for the last few years have been working with textured canvasses using materials from the environment.

I create collages on the canvas which invites and engages the viewer allowing them to appreciate the environment as I do.
