    It is my desire to employ different materials, scale and

    processes in my work and are the evidence of an artist

    always taking risks searching for that connection ,

    that one "true" moment between myself , subject and

    you the viewer.

    The openness , immediacy and sensitivity of my hand

    while simultaneously rendering a likeness creates

    complex fluid personages that reflect the emotional

    and psychological complexity common to each of us,

    flawed, compassionate, vulnerable and that which

    makes us most human.

     

    The people and experiences that inspire.

    Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal for contribution to the arts.
