I started painting through an unusual, but evolved course. As a professional musician for most of my life, my need to express myself in other media intrigued me. Painting is very similar to making music, tones and textures are like sounds on a canvas, it is a visual and melodious link to the soul.  

I utilize a mixed media of acrylics, oils, charcoal, tar, and found objects, I incorporate them together with layers upon layers of paint and a combination of words and phrases,through this process I seek to evoke a feeling rather than depict a defined image. One that is ever changing in all it’s complexities from the fragile to the seductive, beautiful to the mysterious.

My most recent paintings are inspired by what I call the “elegance of decay”. Things that are distressed, old and weathered  as if the hands of time have stripped and eroded the surface of the painting to reveal a beauty all of there own.

As a self- taught artist. I let the muse come to me and then let it spill onto the canvas, like a river to the sea, It is a intense creative process that is both primal and visceral. Pure emotion in motion.  As if the painting paints itself, I am merely a conduit, that transcends from the intangible to the tangible.
