My work is subjective and abstract and I make paintings of seascapes, landscapes and figurative studies based on what I see and experience around me. I draw using scribbly, gestural lines to capture the character of what I observe. I paint loose, expressive images and I apply the paint by splashing, dragging, printing, scraping, dripping and pouring with or without brushes. When we look at something or experience something, there is an inner reaction to that sight or experience. The inner world is rich with memories, words, symbols, associations, beliefs and notions and I draw on these to depict the sights and experiences around me. The work is abstract because it expresses abstract ideas. The objects, people and scenes I observe are portrayed through the filter of my life experience and my inner world.
