Artist Statement:

Colour, texture, shapes, and a lifelong passion for nature and animals come into play in all I do. But it’s the bright, vibrant colour that is the energy that defines my work. I use a wide variety of tools and accessories on my canvasses – brushes, scrapers, palette knives, rollers, sponges, sandpaper, origami paper, scratching, and scraping. I find it immensely satisfying and enjoyable to free myself from the confines of structure and theory – to let my heart and soul burst forth, freeing the child within to play, dance, and soar.

In the last three years I have focused on linocut printing and am really enjoying the process. I use high quality paper and inks to gather a variety of approaches using colored paper and a full spectrum of colored inks.
