Artist's Statement

Since gaining an honours degree in Fine Art, my art education has continued through my practice. Falling under the influence of Jean Dubuffet and the outsider artists, amongst others, I have developed a serial art which positively interacts with my life. The idiosyncratically titled sequence here represents an adventure taken into materials-based and gestural work.

Whilst my art is very personal to me, I am keen to share the outcomes with others. The viewer, though, takes from the work whatever it gives to them, however distant that may be from my initial inspiration. I enjoy hearing people’s differing responses to an image on show.

How works shall turn out it is virtually impossible to accurately predict. Nevertheless, I am currently preoccupied with the ‘filling out’ of the developing opus. The spontaneous aspect of the image-making is now complemented by a more planned approach. I remain especially receptive, however, to those passing random elements which continue to take my attention.

All work is for sale. The images are approximately 60 cm x 45 cm. Please contact the artist for more information or to make an enquiry.
