This is what Iam all about


 Finally Finished My Artist Statement


My journey as an artist is continually evolving and I am constantly looking to challenge my own perceptions to my own art practice.

As an artist I take inspiration from the natural world around us.  My work depicts the power and forces inflicted on our environment, the unpredictable motion of the ocean mid storm, the cascade of a water fall or the ripple of a brook.  I am drawn to shape and form of rocks, pebbles, standing stones and the way they are affected by what coexists around them.

I like to use acrylic in my work when capturing the raw power of nature, applying it broadly and quickly attempting to replicate the energy that I am trying to encapsulate.  Other mediums used in my art practice include watercolour and graphite. Frantically applied painterly and impasto techniques contrast with calmer more deliberately painted methods.

I am currently exploring using canes, sticks and twigs as a method of applying both wet and dry medium. I find this method of working very engaging, working on the floor gives a whole new perspective to the works. I am encouraged to explore further this method with other mediums.
