Artist's Statement:

Having been nurtured on popular culture and the messages engendered in advertising, my work is often an embodiment of these dictates, coupled with an inner spiritual nature that sustains me.
Through the plasticity and immediacy of paint, the fragmentation of collage and the application of gold leaf, I have managed to pit spirituality against consumerism, sexuality against the objectification of women, traversed landscapes both real and imaginary and given the range of these contradicting dynamics, my work allows me to remain a seeker of beauty, strength and optimism.
