Painter (BA Fine Arts & BA Architecture , 1984)

Artist Statement:

In my artistic journey, precision is not just a method; it's a language, and each cut of paper is a carefully chosen word. My craft is collage, an exploration of vibrant hues and geometric forms, but it's more than arranging shapes and colors; it's a dialogue between architecture, emotion, and personal narrative.

"Shaped by the precision of my architectural background, my artwork seamlessly fuses meticulous geometric abstraction with personal narratives. Going beyond traditional canvas boundaries, my collages are deliberate compositions celebrating heritage and craftsmanship, inspired by the diverse landscapes encountered through my travels. The interplay of colors, memories, and celebrations guides the emotions within each piece. From my American roots to the vibrant energy of London and the inspiration drawn from my journeys, my work invites viewers to explore the intersection of precision and emotion, where paint and collage weave a distinctive visual language."

In my work, I delve into the profound impact of color on our perceptions. Saatchi Art recognized my contribution, selecting me as one of 21 Artists to collect in 2021. The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition welcomed my participation in 2021, and my artistic exploration has left its mark in solo, joint, group exhibitions and art fairs. From the UK to the Americas, Europe, the Far East, and Australia, my creations have found homes, unraveling stories of color, context, and human emotion.

Welcome to my world of collages, where every cut tells a story, and every color evokes an emotion.
