Artist Statement

Amidst the must do’s
Of forward momentum
Gaze caught in completion
Through proceedings strung together
In the eternal story of growth and decay
Colours, patterns, textures, design
In a moment of still being
Regarding the simple, small, ordinary, the beautiful
An arrangement of silent hymns
Disclose interlocking treasures rooted in the same account

These beauties, the ordinary and simultaneously extraordinary, are the ones I seek to paint into view, to expand the simplicities in nature that surround us and present a moment to see and perhaps appreciate more than before. There’s really nothing special about a pile of rocks or a tree. On any given day we can choose to see such subjects. And yet perceiving their beauty requires sensitivity in our perspective.

Such beauty, whether found in big or small spaces, does not get old. It can not simply be over stated or replicated into oblivion. It eternally wants to share itself with us. If only we could give a moment of ourselves and delve into it.
