StatementImprovisation and spontaneity are key aspects of what “lifts the veil” of the “essence” within. This process that involves an acquired understanding, intuition and instinct is what sets me free to discover and experience a fluid engagement of self-reflection within the moment, a celebration of life and living that is realized in my creative process. Dissonance engages with a contrapuntal complexity with the means of mark making mediating between drawing and painting while “inclusivity” sets the stage. I engage without a scripted preparation and like life it unfolds in a mysterious way – enchanting, wonderful, strangely beautiful, disarming and challenging.
