I love colour! It's what urges me to start a new artwork. I don't usually have an exact idea of what my finished piece will look like and the process is always daunting ~ I am filled with both confidence and insecurity. Inks are still my preferred medium and I get quite a thrill working with them ~ each brushstroke is an irreversible moment of truth, discovery and magic in which I try to capture the expression in that unique moment.

I love colour! It's what urges me to start a new artwork.

I believe that inspiration is everywhere, and sometimes I'm not even aware of it at the moment I'm experiencing it. However, my own state of being always plays an important role in my choice of colour, medium and form. This awareness helps me keep redefining myself ~ casting off the old me in search of the new. I don't like labelling my work because I find that limiting. Experiences, influences and thinking affect the working process of an
artist, and these can bring unpredictable and exciting changes.

I am self-taught artist and graphic designer. I have worked as a graphic designer for about 20 years, both in my native Malta and overseas. Malta has been my home for most of my life, but I have also lived in The Bahamas, Florida (USA), Italy and the Sultanate of Oman. Such living experiences have enriched my love for colour, pattern and texture.
