The texture you see in my work is the attempt to create emotion that refuses to be contained and thus removes itself from it’s stagnant place of being ‘simply there’. I dropped my brushes and picked up a palette knife for the first time sometime in 2004. I was instantly drawn into my work in a way I had never been before, finding a new to feel and express, losing time and not remembering where the hours spent painting had gone…..actually having a need to create. Today I share this work with everyone and everywhere I possibly can. People who see my work are drawn to it in a way that I could have never hoped for. My paintings, for some, are able to express feelings and emotions that they cannot. A piece starts with me and finishes when it finds its home, and they only go where they are meant to.
