Through my art, my aim is to capture the layers of nature that resonate in my soul. I paint nature’s vastness, I capture the beauty, and I harness its power at the same time.
For me creativity is a rather personal experience as opposed to painting for the satisfaction of somebody else, it is more a matter of making my little contribution to the continuous river of human expression.
I seek to capture the different personalities of my subjects and express those idiosyncrasies that are unique to tell their stories.
It is my curiosity and the desire to decipher, understand and organize the shapes and colours that motivate me to paint.
I look for interesting shapes, pattern and light in the landscape. The way the angle of the light hits the corner of a rock, or the complex patterns formed by snow on an evergreen, pebbles on a shoreline, all these inspire me.
