Artist’s Statement

 

Art is the passion of my life, in any form that it presents itself; it is an extended expression of me.

​

My work is like the narratives and maps of my emotions and experience throughout my life; my creativity acts like a filtering system throughout my journey, the works containing symbolic imagery of memory in present time. 

​

I enjoy the way that I can communicate without speaking a universal dialogue that can portray an expression and emotion through something visual and this is out there - open for anyone to interpret.

​

I like to create an atmosphere as this is something I am drawn to and has a considerable influence on me.

​

I have always had intense dreams and emotions to things; I’d say that this plays a big part in my creative expression, as a lot of my paintings have a dreamlike quality and portray an emotional essence.

​

 Dreamscapes wandering into the land of the subconscious, then there is the more physical side of creating that I enjoy, being so involved in the process of making something that you are completely in the moment, a meditative quality that helps me to keep a sense of equilibrium.   

 

Art statement abstraction 

 

The processing of life and the world around

Process,

Internal information,

Maps, intuitive, part of the big picture surrounding, capturing a moment essence of time,

A dialog, expression of life since birth and maybe before,

Intuitive inklings, sub, before now and after and into the beyond,

But mostly of past and recognition, of hindsight , and the penny dropping  of melancholy memories of distant past of what could of been  and what seemed to be,

Lost love and taste of elusive feelings

Secret, magic and mystery and wrapped with the excitement of maybe knowing,

The need to release in  a grate surge, a flowing a doing a happening a moment of totality and fulfilment as if to say this is right, this is it, the reason of being- this is me and all my secret self

And the higher part that is attuned to all things that make sense,

The glasses to the enlightened view where nothing else matters.

 

When I am me.

Emotion, feelings, atmosphere, senses, dream, under and over world, past and future meet present.

Secrets, magic and mystery, and nostalgia of life and what could of been of what was and what will never be, fantasy  a vision intuition knowing and unknowing simultaneously to create common knowledge .
