Hello
Artist Biography
“Colour provokes a psychic vibration. Colour hides a power still unknown but real,
which acts on every part of the human body”
– Wassily Kandisnky
Artist Statement
I am compelled to paint! My goal as an artist is to capture your attention, draw you in and transport you to another realm, place or time. In much the same way as a good book.
By starting with a realistic approach, my work transitions inwards to an impressionistic and/or abstracted style. As an artist, I like to think in photographic terms of sharp focus, soft focus and out of focus, to create a sense of depth.
My career as a medical professional has provided me with a deep appreciation for the visual properties of colour and light. I like to use purple as my grounding colour because of its calming effect on mind, body and soul. Purple is the combination of the cool stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. Application of light and contrasting colours creates energy and excitement. A combination of these processes provides a sense of balance.
A touch of “bling” bestows a magical quality to my artwork with my newest signature application of diamond-like sparkles on water and snow. It is a manifestation related to my experience in Gemmology.
All my best to inspire your beautiful soul!
“I like people who get excited about the change of seasons, the sound of the ocean, watching the sunset, the smell of rain and starry nights.”
