My work is fueled by two quite different obsessions:
First and foremost is the drive to represent a singular kind of image; organic forms floating in space. This need has been with me since I began creating artwork, unwittingly at first and quite knowingly now, I base my work on these shapes. They come with me no matter where I go; oils, pastels, acrylics; drawing or painting. . I believe they are born from a visual language, or memory, that is part of a collective subconscious.
Second is my love of collage and the combining of various objects, surfaces, textures and text. I find inspiration not only in the beauty and mystery of a single found-object but by the magic created when it is richly layered with the grace of the written word and other objects.

Currently, I combine collage and my organic forms onto a single surface. Most recently it is a split surface which, to me, represents the many aspects of dualism; mind/body, perception and reality, the inner and outer self, light and dark, life as we know it and “the other side”.

I work intuitively, combining media, building layers and using personal symbolism and imagery to evoke a feeling, story or scenario and to create the connections between the two aspects of my work, much like we make those connections in life.
