Artist Biography
I am an Abstract Expressionist Colourist. In my paintings I deliberately celebrate the lyricism of colour and mark making, calling attention to the visual poetry of a work. My artworks can be non-objective or suggestive impressions of landscapes, domestic scenes and realms within the imagination and beyond.
In my provisional process, I embrace the accidental, experimental and the intuitive. Spontaneity and the energy of the painting process is ever-present as are traces of re-workings. My work fundamentally examines the interrelationship between Abstract Art and The Spiritual and the effect of Late Modernity on society.
Bachelors of Arts: English Literature and Art History, Auckland University.
Masters in Communication Studies. (First Class Honours and Deans Research Award) Auckland University of Technology.
Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Arts Painting (With Distinction) Ilam School of Fine Arts.
