Artist statement
I make geometric paintings using oil or acrylic. Working mainly on canvas, the paintings often evolve as part of a series of pictures which may be continued over months or years finally presenting a collective statement about a theme.
Works on paper comprise collage and drawing with drawings frequently leading to small gouache works and these I consider as paintings in their own right though they may also be the concept for a larger work on canvas.
