When emotions are stirred, consolation and solitude lurk behind the canvas. Smoothly piercing thoughts manifest and take hold of themselves within the smudges of pushed around paint.

I paint simply for the love of painting, the pleasure of splattering colours and the emotional release that occurs during the process. I have no particular method or style as it is a constant experimentation of interwoven thoughts of ‘controlled’ chaos within an undefined expression that formulates and lives somewhere amidst the throat, chest and gut.

But my work isn't about representing my elucidations of life, emotions or feelings, regardless of my trigger, as much as it’s about surfacing your thoughts, touching on your creativity, and creating your interpretations of how each piece speaks to you.

A successful piece will trigger imagination, evoke emotion and encourage a sense of reflection and connection between itself and you.

When each piece is complete, if there is ever such a thing, and released to the world, it takes on its own liberated identity, separate from mine. The identity and energy it exerts belongs to you and only you.

More interesting than a painting with a told meaning is a painting that evokes infinite responses.
