My ideas and inspirations come from many different sources; the alchemical
nature of Art reflects the mystery and magic of Creation and continually
leads me down diverse roads. Art is what you make it to be; as Henry
Miller has said, "Art can teach us nothing, except the significance of
life."
I am essentially self-taught and began working in oil paints on hand
stretched canvas. I enjoy learning more whether it is solo or through
attending workshops and seminars. I have also explored various materials
and methods such as Printmaking, Ink, Pastels, Charcoal, Acrylic, Oil Sticks
and Egg Tempera.
