Bayside Melbourne Artist
'Painting is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass.
Coloring in at school started it.
Transforming a blank piece of paper into amazing colors has always struck me as magical. Over the years painting has filled me with a sense of accomplishment, and it has proven a most amendable vehicle for translating inner vision to outer reality.
I love the creative power which painting gives me. I paint from the inside out. Though I work as deliberately as I can, consciously employing traditional techniques, my unconscious is project manager. The concreteness of the activity frees my imagination and it “sees” each piece into existence........'
