I am fascinated by the abstract nature of emotion. In an attempt to explore, capture and understand its
existence I encourage each of my paintings to tell a story about the creation of personal emotional
identity. My abstract works reference the intangible concept of human sentiment and formative
emotional experience. Using landscape as a metaphor for spiritual space I endeavour to embody ambiguous
and undefined places where the mind can wander, free to contemplate and respond to the relationships and
stories between representational elements and to discover and absorb the emotions contained therein. For me
there is no greater truth in life than to explore, investigate and create artwork born from personal emotional
responses to the everyday and the extraordinary, the real and the ephemeral. I strive to paint that which
cannot be seen by others, that uniqueness of feeling which I know belongs only to me.
