Artist Statement:
Painting is a very personal
experience for me because it's my way of expressing and sharing the
stories that I tend to keep hidden in the deepest parts of my mind. As a
child I would lose myself for hours in this or that Fantasy novel, pouring over
tales like "Watership Down", "The Jungle Book" or
"The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". When I wasn't reading, I was
making up stories of my own... writing them down, or drawing them out on
paper... dreaming up what the places and characters looked like and how they
made me feel. Some haunt me still, and beg to be released even as new
images form in my mind.
Some of my paintings come from dreams (sometimes even nightmares), but
many begin by unlocking that dusty vault in my mind and unwrapping a story,
once imagined by a child. I think of my paintings as pages from a
storybook. If you open the book to the middle and begin reading, without
knowing the beginning or end, this would be where you are... a snapshot in
time. I want my work to evoke a curious sense of wonder and strange
familiarity in the viewer... the notion that there is a wondrous story
behind it all, and the anticipation of more yet to come.”
