My art is like a thread, it weaves a way to share and bare my
soul in the intimacy of strangers.
My memories are visual they dance across my mind the good, bad, ugly
and beautiful, 18mm reels crackle and pop, snap shots faded,
letters folded, faces, places, smells and tastes... They are a
collage of life with surround
sound.
I have no teaching, I remember very little of how I got
there, but I am in the present moment… when engaged
Art is my passion, obsession, love, addiction, it takes me
to a place of tranquillity, melancholy, timeless, I can not live with out it…
for what purpose would it be.
