About Us
There has never been a time in my life when I haven’t felt the urge to create. I began making art when I was very young and it has been a major part of my life ever since.
Most of my paintings start with a series of rough sketches. This helps me visualize composition but also serves as a warm up exercise. Once a painting is begun, I tend not to adhere to the concept sketches to tightly but rather try to work with what is happening on the canvas as the image develops.
My pieces are built up out of many layers, which I keep adding and removing until I’m satisfied with the overall look of the painting. I’m fond of employing sandpaper and razor blades, to scratch and scrape into the surface, revealing the lower strata. The aim is to achieve a weathered, aged feeling; a sense of wear and tear.
My current work is a combination of a lot of different elements. Letters, numbers, outline drawings, silhouettes and drips, all commingle inside an abstract framework. I am partial to a subdued, natural pallet but occasionally make very vibrantly colored paintings.
There is a sense of dichotomy in almost all of my work, which I welcome. It is rooted in my ongoing fascination with paradoxes as well as my perception of self.
