ARTIST STATEMENT My work is a combination of plan, chance and imagination. I layer acrylic paint on canvas, then sand or scrape the surface to see what is revealed. It is a subconscious connection between experimentation and artistic judgement. It is an act of faith.

Creating art is not static. I relate to the unexpected, the surprise that keeps me on my toes.
