artist statement
It is not my subject matter that allows me to experience Art, but Art that allows me to experience my subject matter. It is the natural world with is myriad and mesmerizing colours, details, patterning and structure with which I long to experience more fully. I want to be a part if its perfection even if it’s in the most inadequate ways. The process in which I interpret and re-interpret the lay of a downy feather or the colours found on a single whisker allows me to understand and appreciate the intricacies of its beauty, in the sincerest form I know.
