I paint what I fall in love with. I always fall in love with what I paint. Making art, for me, is expressing the incredible sexy fullness of life as it presents in the smallest of flowers or largest of landscapes. What I seek is truth in my work - meaning a true expression of that person..... flower...... bowl of fruit .....
I enjoy working in clay as much as painting and often long to get back to it when I am immersed in a painting series. Similarly, when I am working on a clay sculpture or a group of clay pieces, I long to get back to painting.
Fundamentally, I just like to work with my hands.
Once I have completed a piece, I am often amazed that it was me who created it. |
