About

I am an Abstract Expressionist Artist.

BACKGROUNDER
My paintings are expressed out of personal experiences, a human spirit, romantic mood, emotional energy and a freedom of the qualities of brush and palette knife. A movement in style and technique. I have an affinity with the Australian Aborigine 'Dreamtime' which at times is reflected as a  symbolic  influence.
                                                     
ARTIST STATEMENT
The concept is to encompass global movement of land and water. The gestures of clotted and oil caked surfaces integrates itself to release imagery of symbols, signs and shapes with an emphasis on working from an unconscious mind. To express oneself in painting is to understand a human desire and the importance of passion in art and the essence of composition and design that expresses a non-verbal attitude similar to music.
