ARTIST STATEMENT

Painting is a wonderful way of going deeper into the beauty of the present moment.

While painting, time seems to disappear as forms take shape on the canvas. There is a deep sense of peace in the creative process. The finished painting then becomes a record, a history, and physical evidence of the creative process in action. The subject matter, light, form, and colour are key aspects of my work.

I hope it is evident to anyone looking at my artwork that I have a profound respect for nature and form,
particularly as it is revealed in various qualities of light and shade. Painting light and colour in its various expressions have been a passion of mine from the beginning.

My approach is inspired by curiosity, dream state, and consciousness.
I primarily work in my studio overlooking the sea, an incredible source of inspiration.

I embrace and find most styles and techniques interesting, and I explore many of them, incorporating them when I can into my work. Therefore, my personal painting method is a combination of many techniques and of course my own signature!

My work is regularly exhibited and sold in Abu Dhabi, USA and the UK, and have held regular exhibitions abroad.
