In The Studio
Working beyond the limitations of culture or tradition, I create images using only my hands as tools.
I have developed this technique through the study of, and experience with, the natural characteristics and innate qualities of raw pigments.
Pure pigments, in powder form, are pressed by hand into the gritted surfaces of wood panels and paper.
A new second series of paintings incorporate original block printing in layers with dry pigments and acrylics, including symbols of finding balance, capturing your dreams, home, and nature.
I am involved with the development of several series, translating some of the best non-verbal human experiences, feelings and emotions we share, into fine art. Enjoy the view, and peace my friends !
