Artist Statement
The primary forces in my work are colour and light; they make me swoon and yearn to portray their power and beauty. I explore and capture the negative spaces in a thicket of undergrowth or a forest of trees and study the play of sunlight, reflection and shadow in a landscape. I use oil, acrylic, watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil in my endeavour to capture movement, depth, life and light.
