ARTIST STATEMENT
I invite you to explore my expression of a beautiful, fragile world.
Being a master of different mediums, it is my creative expression that dictates my choice. I work in watercolour, or charcoal or oils. Gently caressing them in many layers, creating depth and dimension within each painting. My color palette has a base of 12 colours which can vary or be extended, depending on the subject.
