ARTIST’S STATEMENT

“I'm possessed by the desire to capture and make beautiful images I see that are often hiding ‘in plain view’ or in my imagination… discoverable in abstract shapes, lines, shadows, vivid colours and geometric patterns that are both man and nature-made or found in the energy of people and the vibrancy of city life.

I seek to reveal and amplify this beauty by coaxing light, media and materials to provoke emotional responses and ignite conversations.“
