Artist statement
My work covers eclectic subject matter, often inspired by daydreams and my imagination, sometimes representational, using appropriated imagery from magazines and books and my own photographs; sometimes abstract. My practice is instinctive and intuitive, and encompasses photography, drawing and painting.
