ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work is a process of building a language for the emotional impact of place and weather and season: deconstructing an experience or a feeling, and then reconstructing it through colour and shape and composition. The ongoing challenge is to convey an emotion or experience for the viewer.
This "visual language" often speaks in a small voice. By bringing attention to things that may go unnoticed or unappreciated, art may have the power to create new ways of thinking.
Art can indeed change the way we look at this world.
