My work is primarily based in oil painting, using a process of arriving at an image through drawing and collage.
I enjoy discovering meaning in color, shape relationships and symbols. By using a picture within a picture structure, this allows for a potential narrative to form, and a tension develops between inside and outside; between picture and painting.
