ABOUT ME

About me


About me:

Our ability to stop and look at the world around us may seem mundane, but is actually miraculous! Each flower, each insect, the sun, clouds and the sea are all rendered unique by their mere existence. We are so wonderful just the way we are! Each smile and glance, a stray curl, all speak volumes. I seek to ‘capture’ these moments, to preserve them for all to see.

The aim of my art is to make people stop for a moment to reflect on beauty. We are living beings and inanimate nature, we are dust from space, we are so interesting and changeable. With every line or brushstroke, I realise that each tiny detail deserves attention. I must focus on every millimetre, because only close observation will allow me to pare away what is superfluous!

I paint in oils in a classic style. Oil painting is technically demanding, but is also the most expressive medium. Each of my works is the culmination of a long process, which begins when I sketch my ideas and ends when I make the final touches. Out of respect for my work and for my collectors, I use only high quality materials and pigments that have stood the test of time.
