Artist Statement:
I would best describe my work as expressive abstract. I work on mostly large-scale canvas and linen in acrylics, often incorporating other mixed media. I paint intuitively, using bold colour and broad gestural marks. I am addicted to the irreverent process of creating a painting. Much like rehearsing a play or improvising on stage, painting requires me to be in the moment. And it's a wonderful feeling.
