ARTIST STATEMENT
My visual art venture has been an exciting and evolving journey. My paintings are descriptive narratives. Each composition attempts to capture an unforgettable event or a cherished memory. My interest is also in inspiring landscapes as they have a unique story to tell. By using oils, acrylics, and mixed media, I am challenged in depicting ideas on canvas to describe the desired effect. The elements and principles of design are important tools that are used in developing these compositions. The value of light is consistently used to add drama to the paintings. A completed painting is a testament to maintaining perseverance to an idea, applying relevant tools and surrendering to the creative spirit. This passion has certainly kept me focussed on the premise that I have a message to deliver and share. Appreciation for creating, exhibiting, teaching and sharing art will always be a goal as are the enjoyment and appreciation of our environment and each other.
