“An idea catches my attention, circles my mind, and inspires me to create. My process in organic and changes as clouds in the sky. Discovering as I go. My main influence is ‘light’ and the subtle contrast to dark, and how I manifest that with the use of palette knives, brushes and my hands, giving and impasto effect with the buttery texture inherent in oil paints. Oils dry slowly. This allows me to pause the process and began again with, perhaps, a fresh perspective. I sometimes use a brush, but mainly, I use a painting knife. The knife lets me to bring clean and vibrant color, as well as texture, to the canvas. I choose to use only the three primary colors and white which gives me the freedom to create any hue I want and brings a certain harmony, as if I am a conductor of a color orchestra!”
