BACKGROUND

  I believe
light  
 
is the ornament
  of
 
     darkness.
   
  That
  shadows
   
  are the
  messengers
 
                  of
   
  perspective.
   
  And passion
   
  the element
  that pounds each
  into
   
 
delicate
   
  submission.

My Art ...

...deals with the sensuality and beauty of the human    figure.
...engages the viewer in what it is to be human.
...is the revelation of ideas through visual story telling.
...draws on the intimate; moments from the heart,    soul and mind.

...is about colour, perspective, light and dark, and the    language of icons and symbols.
...is about growing older, and the accumulation of    ideas and skills through time.
...is about imagination, interpretation and    craftsmanship.
