“When I paint it’s like Jazz.
An improvisation where I make noise with paint.
I ignore the fear of making mistakes and embrace the imperfection, allowing it to keep me connected to the process of discovery. Playful foraging through the chaos is how I strive to find the loud, unapologetic and unique spirit within each piece of work. When I begin to find elements of beauty within the imperfection is when it begins to make sense as a whole. Each and every artwork is different from the next just as we are as human beings. I hope that the viewer can see the beauty within the imperfection and begin to make sense of this for themselves.”
“It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.” OSCAR WILDE
