Artist's Statement:
"All art begins for me with music. In song, as in life, there are infinite possibilities and I try to paint with that simple mantra. A moment on the canvas where the conscious and ethereal meet. Colour exists in a continuing myriad, beyond the parameters of our expectations. Texture has freedom to drip beyond borders. Light can bend of its own volition. All these things are possible if we decide they are. It is my hope that these paintings resonate with levity and joy in the reality you choose to create for yourself. Colour outside of the lines!"
