No Muse is Bad News..

Artist’s Statement: I like to think of my work as honest and original in its intent, with a fondness for line and figurative expression. For me, creating art has always been about self expression and truth…about producing something relevant and honest…something born out of inspiration and then fuelled by an enthusiasm and passion to create something unique and original. As lyrical as it may seem, I’m simply trying to articulate and express myself through metaphors of colour, tone and surface texture using a subtext of paint, brushstrokes, collage and mark making. I have always received tremendous satisfaction from the act of drawing or watching something materialise on a sheet of paper in front of me. There is something special about this act which draws me back time and time again. I guess that like a musician, creating art can somehow transport you to another world, and for my own part this has become a very addictive but rewarding ritual. I’m curious about where this will lead.
