Artist Statement
If words connect with logic and reason, and images of forms speak to the conscious mind, then abstract art breaks through artificial constructs — language, culture, thought, ego — to resonate within the heart of the viewer. With my artwork, I seek to bypass the physical, outer aspect of things and connect to the experiential, inner world of senses and emotions.
My paintings typically involve a range of mediums, primarily acrylics and pastels on paper or canvas — which themselves may later be translated into a different digital painting.
I like to evoke a certain mood by playing with texture and colour. Often, the focus will be a poem or prose that has moved me, distilling the feelings evoked by those written words into something visual and visceral. Other times, the inspiration will be a scene or a series of memories. Every painting is colour-rich and either stylised or abstract. The process is usually quick and highly intuitive, using a full selection of tools, materials and techniques.
Influences include Georgia o’Keeffe, and CG Jung’s work on Archetypal Psychology.
