I am an intuitive painter. I am drawn to organic lines and shapes, and intense and unusual color combinations that strike a deep, hidden chord with the senses and subconscious mind. My aim is to capture feeling as much as form, in the same way a photographer searches for that instant when an image becomes the perfect expression of a moment in time. This connection with the subconscious gives rise to a dreamscape quality in my work.

I have developed my own, non-traditional approach to creating form in order to achieve a less predictable, modern feel. My vision is to extend the rich tradition of painting on silk into a vibrant, contemporary art form.

My inspiration comes from a number of places – from nature and my own spiritual exploration, to the textures, colors and earthiness of ethnic textiles, or fine crafts like pottery or blown glass. As a textile itself, my artwork can come off the walls and into the living space – brightening up a lonely corner, visually separating two rooms, or billowing across a ceiling to soften and anchor the entire space. The effect on the emotional and design-scape can be dramatic.
