I was born in the United Kingdom, lived most of my life in Australia then relocated to Durango, Colorado in June 2006.
My journey with the digital medium began in 1997 when I moved from working with pastels to creating artwork on my computer. I describe my work as Emotional Digital. Emotional for the sensuality captured by the use of color and form, digital for the medium in which they are created.
Artists Statement
The creation of art comes from the artist reaching deep within the inner soul and placing these thoughts and feelings in a form that can be shared with others. In each of us, are obscure emotions concealed within waiting to be placed upon a medium in colours and forms so that others may see that which the mind of the artist has perceived. Searching deep within the inner being,gathering thoughts and feelings about life then presenting sensual abstract images in hopes of arousing those similar feelings within the mind of the viewer.
These abstract images portrayed in my work are conduits through which you are invited to journey into our changing subconscious to recognize emotions, some of which may be hidden deep within our soul and to explore and experience this feeling for as long as you care to partake of the journey and feelings.
