Page 1 | 2 | 3 | Biography

I am perfectly comfortable with the description that my paintings project a capricious irritability and deception for I want them to be willfully fantastic and edgy. On the surface they provide a fictitious backdrop for eroticism; believing that painting still has an aura, and that it can be a repository for tenderness and occasionally originality and intoxication. For me, painting reflects the ambiguity of the every day, and therefore can be redemptive and subversive, gorgeous and disgusting - something to be celebrated and subject to suspicion as a marginalized site.
It is the mental, philosophical as well as the visual aspects surrounding painting that enlightens me. Double coded work, which uses abstracted decorative motifs fused with imagery that asks for a metaphorical rather then rational reading. Provoking and inviting speculation, my paintings are fairy-tale-like, projecting notions about ‘complicity’ and ‘good’ behavior
Painted concoctions that become phantasmagoric shifts about desire, art, culture, success, failure, faith and seduction; the work ruminates about the nature of “body trouble” and how it affects ones own existence.
