For me, art is a way of expressing what I feel about the world around me.
In painting my influences have been wide and varied and range from the abstract to the fully formed. This spectrum of perceived realities can be observed by anyone who allows their eyes to half-close and their imagination to wander. What is clear and well-defined in one instant becomes hazy and ambiguous in the next. In my artworks I have attempted to explore this phenomenon by focusing on subject matter that interests me and reinterpreting it through the eyes of artistic license.
All of this and so much more, as they say. Each of us has their own version of reality but in the end I believe our experience is far more universal than we think.
