Works

"I like to think that my art asks questions - questions regarding myself, emotionally, intellectually and technically. Through questioning I hope to initiate a kind of dialogue with the viewer. I try to imbue my work with a timeless quality using traditional techniques and materials in my own modern way. Good art stirs memories of what we already know but have forgotten. You could call it a kind of stimulation process. I wake up in the morning and, as have countless people before me, I see the magnificent world around us. There is nothing any artist can do to compete with that. Life, then, is my main influence."
