Abstract Paintings and Collage
Primarily painting abstractly, I usually generate my art without conscious reasoning or a vision of what it will be once complete. My paintings are extemporaneous expressions of the energy that is flowing through me in the moment, and in my process, I am continually finding resonance with the organic, abstract and expressive use of texture, form, color and light.
Whether visually referencing the real world or abstract, most of my work is inspired by my love of nature, it’s beckoning serenity as well as its hostility and fragility, paradoxes and contrasts, astonishing beauty and decomposition. Works combine abstract, representational and textural elements found in nature, both painted and collaged.
Through the fluid and unbound process of creating these perspectives and abstractions, I am unequivocally exploring and expressing themes within myself; the longing for freedom from control, finding calmness within our chaotic world, and above all, sharing my love and deep respect for our vulnerable planet which connects us all.
