The main focus of my work is an exploration of landscape, both external
and internal. Each piece is intended as a meditation on some type of interaction,
such as that between earth and sky, water and land, light and air, natural
and urban environments. I rely on process, intuition and a combination of
materials, such as paper, fibre, paint and water, to produce two-dimensional
works on canvas or paper.

I mostly concentrate on designing mosaics using broken recycled mirror
in interesting combinations with tile or china. When I make these recycled
treasures I hope they find a new home where everyone imagines how many faces
have looked into each piece of mirror, or where each piece of driftwood
has traveled from and that they then consider each scratch and nick part
of the piece's unique history. |

My current focus is on place, having a sense of place, finding my place,
understanding where in the world we are. But while the topic changes, the
overarching themes remain constant. The paintings continue to reveal my sense
of the world as a colourful, generous, abundant, sometimes conflicting but
basically goodhearted place. Painting has also helped me to understand that
it is only by truly embracing the dark that you can discover true brightness.

For me, no matter what the subject matter, the act of painting is akin
to tending the soul. It is also a way to be of service and make a contribution.
The work that I paint is meant to offer hope, vibrancy, a sense of chaos,
a sense of order and, ultimately, a sense of peace and the rightness of things. |
