"Intuition is my guide as my paintings provide an escape from the regular world. I enter a painting without conscious preconceptions of what the work should be. What emerges are snapshots of an imaginary world. I create environments in which I want to live (or at least spend the winter in).
"Over the past eight years I have developed a unique form of mixed media painting. The paintings are composed of ink, acrylic, graphite and layers of Japanese paper, mounted onto panel, and then covered with a layer of beeswax using a hot iron. Often times I will carve into the surface, revealing the layers of painting underneath. Elements from my original prints and sketches are often added during the final stages of 'painting'."
