Ever since I was very young I have had a strong emotional sense that we are all one. Though we appear separate and alone we are in fact all from the same place; made of the same stuff. The presence of this vision in my life helps me understand the play between the real and abstract worlds within my paintings. Painting the same patterns in a building in a city on the street and in a distant skyline is important for my need to express what I see and feel as a person in the world.  At times I find myself exploring in an unconscious fashion those same rhythms and patterns in an effort to make sense of their place in a more complicated world of chaos and change. These feelings of separation and unity are brought into a joyful place by my use of rich and stimulating colours. Colours awaken the experience transforming what can be a deep and often overwhelming feeling of loss into a place of exaltation and contentment . My paintings I hope express in a knowing way what a wonderful role we play in this beautiful world.
