Statement

My recent work is mainly using hand-made paper on canvas which I tear, iron, and scorch creating rough gradual edges and depth. I work in acrylics, wax, charcoal, pumice, sand, pins, plaster, fabric, tempera and honey to try and get the blend to represent natural weathering we see all around us - wherever we live.
I treat each new painting as a new adventure with no pre-conceived ideas. The journey is always unpredictable which enables me to learn something new with each painting.
