Artist Statement After many years of corporate working, I have recently been given the chance to explore my creative side. I started with hand drawings and paintings because that was all that I knew. Thank goodness for youtube videos, Photoshop Elements 15, and my reverse fear of using my computer as a tool, I now have an outlet to create works I never knew I could.
My inspiration comes from looking at everyday objects; wrinkles in a curtain, water puddles on the street, a crumpled piece of paper, or maybe a pair of shoes. Everything has potential, I work with the photo until I find what is hidden inside the object. Because it is the photo that tells me what it wants to be, I don’t restrict myself to a single style. I explore all shapes, colors and genres until the work is complete.
Please enjoy yourself while you take a look at what I have created.
