find art.
Welcome to my life in art.
From my earliest years, I loved to draw and paint. I constantly explore the world around me in images, recording, rescuing fugitive images from obscurity and saving them in some kind of visual imagery - chalk pastels, watercolours, oils, acrylics, goofy collage or photos.I paint what I find funny, or beautiful, or simply something that fits into an archetypal pattern. I like layers of meaning. I like to preserve images of everyday life, such as laundry or credit cards in plastic; people doing ordinary tasks. I like national costumes for their sheer love of pattern and glitter; for that matter, I like pattern and glitter for their own sake. I must have been a magpie in a former life!
You will find some of the images very different from the others. I made a decision to leave all doors open, to explore, to experiment, to translate, metamorphose and to dream. A tall order, and I try to live up to it.
Come, share some of my vision through this site.
