For as long as I can remember nature has been an influential force in my life. It nurtures our world on many distinct levels and impacts each individual with it’s own unique aspects. We are certainly all an integral part of nature. While I may not have ‘formal’ training in art, it does not detract from the end result of the painting nor encumber my passion for creativity ! I absolutely love painting and producing new works ! I just have to ! It’s part of who I am ! In each painting I use a palette of rich colours and a generous quantity of paint and other mediums to achieve a lavishness of texture and density. I want the viewer to feel like they can reach out and touch the painting. To be a part of it ! There is a notable brilliance in every piece of art that I create. I like sparkly things so I include this dimension to add some playfulness to further attract the viewers eye to the detail throughout the content of the work. After observing one of my paintings, my hope is for the individual to experience happiness, amusement, surprise and a sense of curiosity. I hope they can put a smile on your face and linger in your thoughts for the rest of the day. Enjoy !
