Artist Statement

I describe my particular practice of painting to be 'visionary' and I am inspired by the work of many Fantasy artists and Surrealists. My work also has a strong spiritual influence, as from a young age my mother would teach me about the universe and its cosmic powers, our connectedness with nature. Her involvement in spiritual development has grown over the years and continues to have an influence on my perceptions of life and awareness of our inner selves. She has opened my eyes to a search for spiritual and philosophical perspectives intended to transform ourselves and our world.
