Most of my work is impulse driven, which means I create art when I am moved by something specific. It can be sparked by a photograph, a face, a sunset, a flower,  a news story, a word, a feeling or a dream. I like the freedom to work between genres, disciplines, mediums, between fine art and craft, high art and low art. This allows form to be dictated by the content and not restricted by discipline. Despite having a broad range of work the common thread is that I always use black as my base whether I am painting on wood, stone, or canvas. Sometimes I am moved to cut or sand a painting down, or add other elements, to reformat it, but it is always the content that dictated what will happen to a piece.
