I have been an artist for over twenty five years. My mediums are pastel, oil, acrylic and ink. My goal as an artist is to find that elusive place where the subject and its environment are in symbiosis. When painting, I use a theme, some structure, specifically the drawing elements which must be accurate then I depend on letting the process unfold almost unconsciously. This slipping between structured artistic knowledge and working without knowing what I might do next is always challenging. Here the process becomes organic, as I let the painting begin to speak for itself.
All my paintings in ‘Imagined Worlds’ express my desire for a return toward a world of beauty. In Avatar Portraits I paint people as their Imagined Other. These paintings are portals allowing both the subject and the viewer to travel to another dimension.
