Artists Statement

I am not formally trained but my intention is to communicate something so I take on art regardless . As I’m often kind of winging it, my process tends to be spontaneous. I enjoy vivid colours, bold marks and thick applications of paint. It’s a little unruly, and by nature the work is niche and i love that. It’s a connection thing. Making it all the more special when someone genuinely likes or connects to a piece.

I am not a serious painter. I do not think art a super power, yes, it can delight us visually or at beter still give us pause for thought, but in and of itself it changes nothing. Of course, I am only in awe of God, and this is why I find making art so humbling. it reminds me of my weaknesses, even the best painters can only copy or interpret form. So Art is for me an experience of being humbled . I love that. And an experiment in making something that someone else might enjoy or understand.

I am not part of the art community , I notice not all artists are trying to do the same thing for the same reason with the same outcome in mind.

I do in many ways paint as a child, with joy, brevity and a sense of fun and discovery. I’m a free style artist so I never go to the canvas assured . Each time there’s an intention, then a dance or a struggle between the idea and the materials , until a result I am happy with emerges. I hope to paint with my personality even though the style may be mercurial, each piece has potential to convey that at leaat.
