About My Work
While
the still life is my most recurrent subject, it has been said that I
turn everything that I paint into a still life. My work has been described
as "mysterious narratives...with common objects playing unusual
roles, offering tales of strange journeys". My pictorial scenes
have been described as land/seascapes of voids and emptiness, the buildings
and interiors as surreal. Regenerative themes such as water, gardens,
plants and fruit have been my most recent preoccupation. I like to combine
bold flat shapes with rounded forms as the cubists did. Color, used
provocatively and sensually, is my great joy. I see my work as most
often contemplative and quite often playful.
The majority of my work is transparent
watercolor on paper. The unusual richness of my work is achieved
through glazing, or layering the paint. Some of my work is created
using oil or acrylic on canvas, wood, or paper.
