Art is my way of expressing how I see the world. It is a creative channel that I am most grateful for.
I don’t stick to one medium, although I mainly paint in Acrylic…my motto is “Any means to an end”...whatever works…whatever mood I’m in…
Beginning an artwork is trusting that you will finish it just the way it was intended by any means (medium) and in any way (style).
Art is something you can’t take your eyes off…it is a reflection of the magnificence of life through the eyes and interpretation of one soul.
Art is what gets me up in the morning and makes me feel complete in the evening.
If that all seems a bit heavy, then lets put it this way – ‘I just like to paint!’

Doubt rhymes with drought. / Drought will kill any aspiring desire. / So keep your mind well watered with faith and the seeds of change and growth will continue to manifest in your life.
Peeling the Onion
Never before have you, the onion, looked, smelt and tasted so divine. / So get out there and bake, stir-fry, make soups and stews and embrace the 1000 Island salad dressing on your raw onion hide.
Just Breathe...
It is the first thing we do / When experiencing this life. / It is the last thing we do / When we take our final bow. / As physical beings, it is our life / Our sustinence, our miracle. / In meditatio…
WITHOUT...getting to know the others
Look around you, / Look at the beauty in everything. / In nature, in inanimate objects. / Look with awe because everything is a divine, miraculous creation. Look at people. / People you know, peopl…
WITHIN...getting to know you.
Everything you need to know is found within. / You are perfect as you are. / You are divine. / You are. / Aways have been and always will be. Our minds are, perhaps, ill equipped for the enormity a…
